A year ago I met Tommy in Sedona, AZ. Jackie and I had an overdue reunion there. She and I were roomates after graduating from SPJC in St. Pete. Tommy put up with our reminiscing and daytime frolic of an off road jeep ride. I only spent two dinner with Tommy, but thoroughly enjoyed that time. Jackie, you are dear friend. I am so sorry Tommy left your family so soon. Too soon. Love and Hugs to you, Kris.

My heart aches at the fact that you are no longer with us, Tommy. You have been a steadfast loyal friend and awesome colleague. I will truly miss seeing you around the hallways at work, and will miss those hilarious text messages that you would send me. We are all the better for having known you. You have left us too soon. I will never forget. Rest in peace, TomTom, my buddy.~~~~~~~Heidi-Ho (Watson Clinic)
