I am so sorry to hear about my friend, Tom. He was such a wonderful man. I always called him Uncle Tom because he made me feel like family. We had such good times on and off the softball field. He was such a humble man and always kept me in check. I will always remember him. The softball fields will never be the same without him. Love to Anne, Alicia and Ashley and the entire family.
