My condolences. Tom was a very funny guy when I worked at PMI. Lots of laughs on the Jewel team. I literally just found out now from another Pmi co-worker.

To the family of Tom Murphy: sending condolences to all of you.
Tom was bigger than life. I first met Tom when he was my sales rep from PMI when I was employed at Jewel Foods. He encouraged me, and was responsible for me, making a career change to PMI. I wanted to spend more time with my boys, as Tom was doing. The last most memorable time that I saw Tom was at Sloan Park in Arizona, Cubs vs Sox.
Tom, you will be missed.
