I was so sorry to hear of Tom´s passing.
We worked together years ago at The Department of Social Services and I remember him very well.
Just last June a mutual friend from Social Services showed me a recent photo of Tom. I thought he looked pretty good
and was gladdened.
Both that friend and Tom died within less than a month of each other.
My prayers and thoughts are with Tom´s Family at this sad time.
