My sympathy for your loss. Tom and I worked together, and he helped me immensely from the moment I started working with him. He was smart and thorough, but also always good for a laugh. We miss him here.

Tom was a great guy, we grew up in the same small town and played recreational soccer together for years. When we were young he played goalie and everyone feared getting hit by the ball after one of his powerful kicks. One time one of those balls hit me right in the face! I'll never forget that or Tom, he was a good guy, never would have intentionally hurt anyone. When I picture him in my mind, I see him with a smile on his face...This is very sad news!
