Miss you still, friend of mine

Dear Laurie and Family,

Thank you for sharing the beautiful write-up about Tom; it was lovely to read and learn more about his story. Tom and my husband Al Baracco were colleagues at Northwest Natural Gas Company for many years. They certainly shared many fun times together, often with good food and drink in hand. Al considered him to be a very good friend. We are so sorry for your loss, and hope that you find comfort and peace in reflecting on the great adventures you shared...

The very first person I served as a bartender at Brad's was Tommy somewhere around 45 years ago. I loved to hear him tell stories about things that happened back then. Some of the things Tommy, Larry , Dick, another Larry we all know along with the other partners are simply unreal and they really really did it. I am so happy to say Tommy was my friend until the end. Keith and I will miss him. See you on the flip side buddy.
