I find all of this hard to believe.
I have known Tom for 25 years, when he ran for the state legislature, and I worked with Fred and DeLoris Doederline and Jack Roeser on the team supporting Tom.
He was always a friend to me, and greeted me with a big smile any time we ever met

May God rest his soul.
