HEY BUDDY ---After all the years gone passed you are still missed.

My condolences to you all and my prayers are with you.

Tom was a more then a friend. I remember him taking me under his wing at Steelcase when I was new to his paint dept. And it was Tom's paint dept. He ran the show, and let management know it. I always tell people you will be remembered for your kindness
