We at Stephaven Farm have always thought of Tom as a very kind, friendly and knowledgeable man of the cattle business. I have always enjoyed talking to Tom, over the years at cattle functions but have never visited the farm. My condolences to his family for their great loss.

Doug,
We so seldom meet, but it was just a year ago when we met at Mr. Hurt's "A Night To Remember" and I asked you about Tom. Now I have another memory from that evening, but on a sadder note. I am indeed sorry for your loss.
