My heart is broken. He was such a good friend and neighbor. We watched lots of Nascar together. He loved Dale Jarrett #88 UPS Ford. I loved Jeff Gordon so we use to raz on each other especially when either would crash. I would say GATUS ( thats was our nicknames for each other) You can go home now LMAO. So many memories flooding back right now. R.I.P. my good friend I will miss you forever. My sincere condolences to Jane and the family.

Oh Tom, I'm going to miss you. Such a kind and gentle soul who was so proud of his family. He and I shared a love for the Odd Couple. He let me borrow his DVD's. I laughed so hard. Before I would see him when he came to the store I'd hear "Ta Ta" He was imitating the Pigeon sisters from the Odd Couple. Ta Ta Tom...may you fly with the Angels.
