Tommy worked with me on several of my nicest home remodeling projects. He was a true Master Carpenter, a great guy to be around, and always that big smile. I'm so sorry for the loss of your father, brother, friend. He was a very unique man. Sincere condolences, Dan Jozefow, owner of Sunrise Design and Construction, Stillwater MN.
