Not sure what to say?

One of the best friends I ever had. I think of him often.

So sorry to hear about Tom's passing. I used him and his business for years as my paramedical examiner and he earned the respect from all of the agents who entrusted him to get our exams done on a timely basis. He was extremely skilled in drawing blood and when I had to have my own drawn, he was finished before I even knew I had been stuck. He was a fun loving guy and will be sorely missed. I offer my prayers and condolences to his family during these difficult days.

Tom had a great smile, and, whenever I saw him at family gatherings he was always smiling. What a wonderful, warm person. He will be missed.

Tom was a diverse and dynamic man.
Sharing in your sorrow.
Love and prayers to his family.

Tom was such a wonderful man. He and Leetsa hired me to work for them as a receptionist when I had no work experience. Tom was patient and taught me so many things. He let.me use him as a pin cushion when he taught me how to draw blood. Not only was he my boss but he was a friend. I remember our coed softball team and how much fun we had not only on the field but when we would all meet at a sports bar after for eats and drinks. Rest in peace Tom my heart goes out to your family and friends...

You will be dearly missed rest easy Tom and drive that vet like no ones watching ❤
