I worked with Tom at Partners Insurance for over 15 years and we spent a lot of time traveling in WV selling Commercial Insurance. We had many conversations about God and family as well as sports and "good food". Tom was a fine Christian man of good moral values and will be missed by all who knew him, but it is comforting to know that God has his arms around him.
