    It’s hard to image a world with out Tom around.Tom and I go back to Jr. High School at Britton rd. Learned that he wasn’t a guy you would want to pick a fight with. We also played softball together in Kodak’s KPAA league in the early 70s .Admired his quite no nonsense demeanor not to mention the great job he did taking care of his family and raising an exceptional daughter. My condolences to his family and friends. – Jim Post
