I'm sorry I missed the calling hours. I just now found out that Tom had died. I enjoyed seeing him recently at a dinner held at Taylor Manufacturing. He was his usual jovial self.
I worked with Tom for many, many years at Taylor. He was a skilled (and fast) machinist, but more importantly, he was a great guy. He was often boisterous and unfiltered, but usually with a good hearted smile.
He was a unique and enjoyable person to be around. I will miss him.
