When I was 16, my first job, was it. The humble station in cuyahoga falls and tom worked there. He turned out to be a good friend and I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with them over the years. I was just thinking about him today. And I thought I would give him a call, and that's when I found out how about his passing.
