Tracy, we extend our sincere condolences to you and the McKeon family. We were very sad to learn of Tom's passing. We met Tom a very long time ago (and, unfortunately haven't seen him in a long time) at a patriotic event. Tom gave us a pocket Constitution which I, still, carry in my purse every day. Tom was a patriot; may he rest in peace. May you, eventually, find some comfort in good memories and knowing he is at peace. Sincerely, Ann & John Goergen
