The years that Thomas and I spent together were of the most memorable of my life. The laughs, our adventures such as hunting trips, fishing and water skiing are all among those memories. Thomas was my family in those years.

Tommy,

We had many good times together in the "60s and 70s" I just found out of your passing and am very sad that I did not have a chance to say good-bye. Tom, you were a "Best Friend" and I consider the relationship we had among the "Best times" of my life. RIP Tom, I'm not far behind. leonard
