We met Tom years ago through a mutual friend who was "cat sitting" for us. Tom saved the day more than once to look after Smokey the Fat Cat when we were spending time at our beach place. He was a kind and very sweet young man whom we trusted to care for Smokey and look after our home in our absence. His sister Stephanie later took over the "Smokey" tasks. A great family, great youngsters and many memories of their dependable help. Their mother Gisela was lovely and shared in some of the humor that accompanied the care and feeding of Smokey. We are sending deepest sympathy on this shocking loss. Tom (like the family) was a classy, smart and wonderful person. I know he will be terribly missed. Sending love from Liz Beckmeier and family
