Angie and family I was shocked to
hear of Tom's death. Remember all of the
great times we all enjoyed in the past, he

Tom and I were co-workers at Wallick. He and I worked on many projects together. His humor and wisdom made each and every day an exciting one. He always said he taught me everything I know, and he was right!
My deepest sympathy to the family, he will be missed and never forgotten.

I wanted you to know that I enjoyed the time I spent with your Husband/father. He was full of humor and made me realize why I do my job here at Riverside. If there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to let us know.
