My condolences to Tom´s family. I met Tom when he worked at Federal Envelope. I had other friends who worked there and Tom came with them a few times to their and my favorite watering hole. A very nice man and great to talk with.

Lucille - Oh my, what a shock, didn't know Tom was ill, so sorry.
Will watch for memorial services. We don't get the weekly paper so
didn't see a notice if there was one.
