My deepest condolences for your loss. I first met Tom in 4th grade band, he played the saxophone and I played the clarinet, so we always practiced together. He was a sweet and gentle soul, we had a date and realized we were great friends. He always has a special place in my heart. After all these years I am still deeply saddened by your loss. You are in my prayers

Tom and I worked together at Coldwell Banker, and we had a great time. With both of us being Browns fans, we always had a lot to talk about! Tom was a really nice guy, extremely smart, and always there to just sit and chat. I´ll miss you buddy. Bob
