While I was not a regular attendee at the MVMARC Model A Ford Club meetings, I always enjoyed visiting with Tom. On a couple of occasions I stopped by his home and visited with him at his garage. Once he even came over to my house to help me get my Model A started. I lived nearby. I will miss him and the wealth of knowledge he had pertaining to Model A Fords. My sympathy to his wife and family.

I have many fond memories of Tom...he would show up at the house, often unannounced with one of his "automotive inventions" and the adventure would begin as we went out for a cruise in the Lake Speedster or the Ford Highboy. He was dyed in the wool Model A Ford guy and loved everyone...a great friend, smart individual and a highly respected individual - knowledgeable is so many things! He will be greatly missed by all of us.
