Tom was a great guy and always so helpful and knowledgeable. Not the same without him when he retired. It was a pleasure to know him.

So sorry for your loss. The Bible says there is a time to weep, surely the death of a loved one brings on such time. May God be with you to comfort you Ecclesiastes 3:1,4

Mike & Family,
So sorry for this loss. I never got to meet your dad in person, but I felt like I knew him anyway through all the stories I heard. He sounds like a truly great person. Many condolences to all of you.
