My deepest sympathies to you all. I was with him through chemo and he made what a I thought would be a sad and depressing time so much fun. I so looked forward to seeing him. He was so upbeat and full of life and he loved his family so much. My heart is sad today.

My heart goes out to Tom's family and Effie. He was such a nice man, always had something to say to make me laugh in my Drive through and one of my fav's at Walgreens. All of us who knew him are truly saddened to hear of his passing. If there is ANYTHING we can do to help, Please let us know!
