I saw Tom two weeks ago today and was struck by the fact that his good humor and cheer were intact. That is one thing about Tom, I never saw him in a bad frame of mind. He was always warm and positive. The world would be a much better place if it was filled with hearts like his. Tom's spirit lives on in everyone who knew him. He will be missed.
