Thom will always be in my memories. As an apprentice carpenter he was my instructor and a great one at that. I was lucky enough to serve part of my working apprenticeship under Thom at Pfizer. He always went the extra mile to ensure that I was exposed to work involving all skill types. He was personally involved in my activity from day to day on the job. I have had great success in the construction industry and the things I learned from Thom are part of that success.
My Condolences to the Bonnano family.
