Dear Tom and Susan,

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your son, Tom. Although I never had the privilege of meeting him, his obituary and messages from friends and family honor a wonderful, kind, and vibrant human being. Not everyone on this earth has been given such a great gift. The loss of him for all of his family and friends must be overwhelming. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, and I know, in those of your cousins "back home".

Dear Tom and Sue,
I regretedly only knew Tom for a few months,we met when he started working for Ram. I offered to bring him to work every morning.You would've thought I just gave him a million dollars. I have never had anyone appreciate anything I've done for them the way he appreciated something so simple as a ride to work..We hit it off right away and became very close , very fast!! We took lunch together everyday,and would take Colleen and my wife Crystal out to dinner.. He was my riding partner and quickly becoming my best friend.. Tom ,he talked about you all the time and loved you very much. I'm so sorry that something like this could happen to someone as vibrant and kind as Tommy.. I'm sorry he didn't have the chance to introduce us. My name is Jacob Hafford Tommy and similar friends call me Jake. I'm going to miss him greatly.I've never hit it off with anyone the way Tommy and did. He was a fantastic human being , a good man ,and a GREAT FRIEND. Once again i am deeply sorry for your loss..He will be greatly missed...
All the best
Jacob Michael Hafford
