Tom and his family lived on the same street when we had our first homes in north Dallas. We car pooled to work at Chance Vought Aircraft in Grand Prairie. Through the years we loved meeting at the annual outing and the Quarter Century meeting and sharing personal and business experiences! RIP peace buddy! Dick Guthrie
