Edna and family, I'm very sorry for your loss. Tom and my father were the best of friends and my father felt so highly of Tom. I have many memories of drinking coffee with Tom and my father at Ziggies and at the restaurant at the corner of 34 and 251. Tom was a very nice guy with a subtle wit and charm, and he was the first one that showed up at Dorothy's house when my father passed. I apologize that I didn't make the visitation, as I just found out about it. My family sends our heartfelt condolences.
