My thoughts and prayers to the Mooorhead family.
40+ years ago Tom gave his approval of my first car. Tom being a car nut, that meant a lot to me as a teenager. Over the years I would run into him we would talk cars,family and he always had a smile and something nice to say.
He will be missed
RIP Tom
