We are so saddened to hear of Tom's passing just now. He was such a wonderful person and neighbor. Even after we moved from the neighborhood almost 9 years ago, we would run into him around town. Always friendly. I remember him telling us one day that he became friends with the people that bought our house and what wonderful people they were. Such a great man with a big, kind heart. May you Rest in Peace Tom. Our condolences to your family.
