Tom was one of the most memorable people I´ve ever met. He was always uniquely wise, funny, and genuinely kind to the rest of us. Although I left Kentucky many years ago, we did keep in touch by phone every once in a while. He always made me smile and appreciate life. Those of us whose lives Tom touched will always remember him.
