Thomas was a great of mine. We were at some point into the same Corvette Club. I'm only hearing about him passing days ago. I'm sure he's in a better place. Amen.....Louis Rodolico

Carol, my heart is heavy, hearing this sad news about Tom's passing! So sad, SO Sad!!
What a great man! His kindness, compassion a gentleness were great gifts from God and Tom knew how to use them. There are not enough words to describe how Tom was loved. I hope you can find comfort knowing he is with the Lord. Love you Carol!!
