I had the pleasure of not only knowing Tom, but growing up with him. Throughout grade school and high school, Tom was always a loyal and trust worthy person, and his friendship is irreplaceable to me. I miss him and his smile, and I pray that you find the strength to get through this as a family and remember all the good times you've shared with your son.
