My sincere condolences to Alice, Adam, Nate and their children. Tom and I grew up together in Shavertown, only a couple of months separating us in age. I'll always remember the fun and adventures we had as kids. We didn't see each other often enough in recent years and I will miss Tom a lot. Rest well my friend.
