I send my condolences to the Heine family. I met Tom more then 20 years ago through the equipment industry. Tom was always professional and someone I respected. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

I had talked to Ben and Mark about coming to manage the Indy store and the only thing left was to make an exploratory trip. They also told me I would have to be approved by the Service Manager. The first and only time in over 50 years in the Industry that I had to be approved by an individual that reported to me. After working a short time with Tom, I understood why. He was a very special person. My deepest sympathies to the family. RIP Tom.

What a "LOSS". Tom was a wonderful person. Even though we lost touch over the years Tom was often in my thoughts. Tom was a good friend to many and had a very special way about himself. The Entire Zielinski Family sends our Deepest Condolences to the Heine Family. Sincerely Rick Zielinski
