Cathy, Tom and Lizzie: my prayers are with you in the loss of Tom. I had occasion to be involved over 30 years with Tom and the real estate that he was an expert in. His love for his family, his God and his country made him an outstanding individual and a gentleman. I am thankful that I knew him. The memories will be the salve for the days ahead. Roger Hypes
