I saw Tom just over a year ago on a special occasion, When someone came up to me and said theres a guy that wants to see you in the kitchen. So I went in and there was Tom, He smiled and I smiled and exchanged a few words. We sat and talked for a while talking about old times and just laughing away. I had to leave and I stood up we shook hands and told each other it was good to see you and before I left the room he said hey, where do you live and I told him he said right down your address and number which I did and Tom said I will see you this summer so don't be surprised when I show up at your door, I said I look forward to Tom, Well it never happened. I sit here with a tear in my eye and at the same time a smile on my face. My condolences to Toms' family He will always be in my thoughts Rest in peace in Tom.
