Tommy I don't what to say other then I will miss the hell out of you ! I never realized how much you taught me back in the day about my job and how it molded me in my career. You always made me laugh and I'll miss that smarty pant grin when you were going up say something smart! I'll miss our inside jokes and seeing your face light up when you talked about Kellie and Summer. Thank you for supporting me and pushing me to be better and though your not here to see I won't let you down.... I'll finish the work you wanted me to do, I promise .... Til we meet again...
