My condolences to the Duckett family on the passing of Tom. I dont think ther has been a week in the last forty years when something did not happen to trigger a memory of when we were all working on the farm during the sixties. I am glad that I knew
Tom and was able to spend part of my youth in his company. His care now falls to the Father and I expect good things. Paul and Helen Beaupre, Cincinnati Ohio
