To Toms family,
Tom was our neighbor and friend. We lived behind him He knew my love for cats and would put food out under his truck for them. if he didn´t see them for a few days he would worry about them.
Tom would come over and tell us stories. He was always funny. He Eddie and Larry spent many hours shooting the breeze!
He was always gracious when we would take him goodies at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We will miss his great smile and his cigars!
