Was thinking about Tom the other day , and did a quick search. I am so sorry for your loss. Tom use to come into the antique shop I worked in , on the corner of Main and Union Street. I worked there with my baby Erin. Tom would stop in and check on us when he was on duty. He also let me know there was a crossing- guard position available for that corner , which would give me some extra income. He was such a sweet and kind man. I hope you see this message and find comfort . He was such a dear .
