Read MoreWorked with Tom as a truck driver at V8 Engine. He always was very helpful and had a great sense of humor. He had this great smile on his face always. My prayers are with his family and I hope they know he was always a good friend. May you rest in peace Tom. You will be remembered as a good friend.
