Going to the same grade school and college Tom and myself go back a few years. Can remember to this day the excitement we had when we received BB guns one year and would go on hunting excursions along the East River near his house. We both went into the military after college and returned back home where Tom was in business and I would see the family at times at our dental office. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family.
