R.I.P Tom. It was a pleasure knowing you and working with you. May God comfort your family in their time of grief. The golf course won't be the same.

Tom was a dear friend. I've known him for 12 yrs, a heart of gold and a leader to those who were lost. Our thoughts are with the family and all of his friends as remember him for who he was -- a special friend, a father, a mentor. It's not the dates that count, but the Dash in the middle that makes the person and our memories. May they always live forever in our hearts.
