My sincere sympathy to the Ferguson family. Tom gave me my first professional opportunity as a lawyer in the Office of the Auditor of State. He was a hard working Auditor and was affectionately nicknamed the "Watch Dog of Public Funds". Tom was a passionate democratic and a man of the people.
Tom, you fought the good fight.
Regards,
McCullough Williams III
