I am sorry to see this, nearly a year too late. Tom worked for my grandfather, and later, my father, at Allen Brother's Painting. He was a very sweet man. Definitely a favorite of mine out of my dad's employees. Tom also taught me how to tie my shoes while we sat on the bumper of a work truck! God bless you, Tom!
