My sincerest condolences to the entire family on the passing of Tom. A classic “great guy” and overall great friend. I remember many great times in football handing the ball to Tom and watching him scamper or teaming up with him as a defense partner on Fraser’s first high school hockey team. We have certainly lost a great friend
