Tom was the epitome of a man and a great friend to many. I´m thankful to have known him- we often shared conversations and stories about life. A few things were abundantly clear from our conversations: he loved his sons and grandchildren, Diane and Marley and he was never afraid to stand for what he believed in. My sincere respect and condolences to his family and friends.
