So sorry to hear of Tommy´s passing. he was a great friend for a lot of years. We had many great times together and he will be truly missed. I was lucky enough to see him in September when I came up to visit. When I think of all the concerts that we went to and the ice fishing expeditions it makes me remember the good times that we had. So sorry I could not have been there for the funeral, but I really tried. My flight was canceled at the airport when I was getting ready to come. I would´ve liked to of been there for Tommy.
