Worked with Tom for Several years at Chandlers, he was a great co worker and friend. One of the most memorable times is when Tom and I joined the Shrine together, we had difficulties getting there and had to wait till the next meeting. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that God will calm and bring a sweet peace upon each of you!
