Tom was my neighbor and at my old job, I worked a lot and I was never home.!!!.
One weekend [I actually got off that weekend] my daughter and my 3 grandkids came to visit for my daughter's birthday.
After she left[ I walked them to her car]. I was coming back and I started up the stairs, he said hey what is going on up there ? I kinda of laughed & said my grandchildren & daughter came for a visit, I know I am not normally here and he's like nope.
He never complained about them being loud or anything, even though I lived directly above him.
He is/was one of the kindest neighbors, I have had in a long time.
My heart goes put to his family
