My condolences to the Paradee family. My husband, Donald, thought a lot of Tom. They use to all meet for coffee in the mornings, especially when Goobers was open. The crew of Mitch, Wayne, Richard, Tom, Donald and some I know I left out would show up every morning. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
