Every time I saw Tom we laughed. I worked with Tom at Fairport Transportation. He was a very special man. I will miss seeing him at Wegmans.

Having perhaps never even met Tom, I have heard such kind thoughts about him. My wife is a bus driver in FCSD and had good things to say about Tom. Tom's influence stretched beyond that he even knew!
