May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked for Tom at SCT in Chattanooga Tenn. He was a great boss . I also worked with Keith at SI Shaw Industries Chickamaug Ga. Sorry for your loss. Keith I will never forget the trip your dad and I made from Charlotte NC weather was bad and we could not board company plane, so I had to drive us back to Chattanooga. Half way through our trip your dad asked whose idea this was. I had to remind him it was his and he started to laugh.
