I worked for Tom for quite a few years at Lakeside all the way until he had closed it. He was a great guy, and -had lots of great times with him at Filipas. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Tom was a wonderful man. He was a loving devoted, romantic husband; the kind every woman dreams of and movies portray. He was a wonderful father who taught his children values and actually spent time doing things with them. My heart breaks for my beautiful aunt, Sharon and his amazing children and grandchildren. However, I hope and pray that they are always grateful for having had someone this good in their lives as not everyone is blessed to have and that they remember that they will see him again soon, for as we can see: this life is very short.

We enjoyed visiting with Tom and Sharon as neighbors, watching Alayna grow up before our eyes and enjoying freshly mowed lawns by his sons, in these past years. We were so shocked beyond words to hear of this tragedy and feel so helpless, so our prayers go out to Tom's entire family.
