I was an associate of Tom in 1972. He was very kind and a true gentleman. I remember his Mercedes Benz convertible he loved. I got to ride in it a few times. Tom was someone I always looked up too. God has blessed him over the years. He was and still is a good man....

I knew Tom thru his brother- in law, Fred Fesko. Tom was always a true gentleman whenever we met. I was always amazed at how he would continue to exercise into his later years. My memory of him will always be as a kind and thoughtful man. May he rest in peace.
