I meet Tom through his wife Bridget. He treated me as I was part of the family . When I got married he used his brother's car to drive me to the venue and then me and my husband to our pre honeymoon suite that him and Bridget suprise us with as our wedding gift. We laughed because he had given us new names Tracey and Toby.
Here's to you Tom
