I can't believe this...I got back to work and found out he died! He was so funny everytime he came into our office to deliver gas. He told the funniest stories when he stopped in. God Bless! I know he is in heaven.

I bought Fuel Oil from him 4 days prior and have been trying to contact him to pay my bill. OMG he was such an awesome person. Talked to him all the time when he came to my trailer park. Amazingly nice guy. I am saddened to hear of this. So Sorry for your loss.

There are many fond memories from the past. the Blossom time weekends going to the parade then back to the Crawford home on Orange Street to eat a pot luck dinner then off to the carnival. The time Tom and I met Sean and his dad in Key Largo and spent the day on the boat with the dolphins swimming along beside. The fun times at our house. Grilling, eating sitting by the fire and maybe a wee bit of drinking and a lot of laughter. We spoke quite often when he made a delivery at Handy Rents. The support I got from him when Tom died will never be forgotten. I wish him much happiness and love in his next journey. He will be greatly missed here.
