I am so sorry for your loss!
Very sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. I worked with him at Web and he was a very good printer and mechanically talented. Also, remember the time he spent running Chubby’s. We’d go there for michigans everyday. He made the very best meat sauce.
Condolences to Tom’s family and friends. He was a great guy.
I am so sad to learn of Tom’s passing. I went to Big Cross and through GF with him, When he came to our 50th high school reunion, I was so happy to see him again. He sat at the same table as me and we did alot of reminiscing!
I am happy to have had the opportunity of talking with Tom at our 50th class reunion. We lived in the same neighborhood as kids and went to school together from k-12. He was a good friend and will be missed.
