hate to hear of Tommy's loss. He was a great friend who took a florida boy under his wing when I came to Waynesburg to play football.

Tom was always a pleasant addition to my work day and to so many others. Thursdays just will not be same without his twang and creativity. He was such a genuinely nice person with a wonderful sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family that he loved so much. We share their sadness and their loss.
