Tom was such an important person in my life! My son and I loved him dearly. He was my friend through my divorce - helped me find a home, inspected it for us and moved us in. He helped me remodel and improve my house. He taught me how to shop for hidden gems at Menards, introduced me to shopping at Aldi, how to use a plumb line, how to paint a straight line, how to install a window AND a door. He would take my son out for pancakes when I needed to get work done and introduced us to Sammy (my "dog voice" will forever be Tom´s), Linky and Bruiser as well as the Bat Mobile. He encouraged me to start my own business and helped me create the space. The stories he told me about his family had us intrigued for hours. I could go on and on and on about how much he did for me. We laughed so much together and my life is richer now because he was my friend. I miss you my dear.

I only recently heard of Tom´s passing. He was larger than life- big and loud and fun! And he could fix anything! My condolences to his family and friends. I´m sorry I hadn´t seen him in several years. I hope he died at peace and without physical pain. Rest in peace, Tom.
