Tom was always smiling and happy, with never a bad thing to say about anything. He was a wonderful neighbor who enjoyed sitting on his patio, listening to the "Rat Pack", and living life! All of us here at Woodbrooke condominiums are going to miss you so much. I know the employees of Panera are going to miss you as well! But we figure right now you are sharing your pictures of Abraham Lincoln with, well, Abraham Lincoln :) God bless your family during their time of sorrow!

From the first time I had the pleasure to work around Tommy, I knew being around him was going to be "interesting" to say the least. He left a note on unpainted walls in newly constructed houses to throw off the painters that will stick with me forever:
"This kitchen is to be painted MURPLE, not to be confused with PURPLE..Sherwin Williams #1406.
There never was A Murple!
God Bless You Tom and Thank you Jim for all.
