His high school football coach, my dad, always said that he was the toughest (positive) athlete he ever coached. Tommy has always been part of our family's story. Dad was devastated to hear of his passing. I have a framed high school fb team picture from his years at St. Charles High School.

Tom and I used to work together right out of college. He was hard working , consensus and fun to work with. My prayers go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
