I served with Tom in Vietnam. He was always there to help others and was a good friend. He rotated out of country before me but sent a few letters to us from home reminding us what life "back in the world" was like. Tom´s on the far left in the photo.

One of my first customers to come out and acquaint himself with me after taking over the mail route many years ago. So very nice and always had time to wave or say hi. Will miss seeing him drive by and waving or in the yard working. My condolences goes out to all. May he be at peace
