Tom and I have been very good friends since Kindergarten. We used to double-date in high school; and were in each other’s first wedding . We were lifelong Lukers; named for our grade school: St. Luke’s. Tom would drive to STL to join the gang for Luker Lunches a few times a year. I will deeply miss my friend.
