When I first met Tom about 4 years I knew then that he was a smart man with a great future ahead. His ideas were far ahead of his time. Tom called me the day before he passed expressing how much he looked forward to his upcoming weekend adventure with us in Texas. So sad and shocked that he is gone. He will never ever be forgotten.
