I am so sorry to hear about Tom. He was one of my favorite people. Always trying to act crabby, but really a softy. I will miss that gruff voice and sense of humor. Take care JT, Birtney, Rachel and familes. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Tom was one of my best friends growing up. We spent many hours on the lake doing the usual teenage stuff. Some good some bad, but he was always a good laugh. I’ll always have fond memories of him. My heart goes out to JT Britney, seal, Robin, Margie, and Andy. My condolences, and my thoughts are with you.
