I knew Tom through his work at F&G and the VA hospital. He was always there willing to lend an ear or lend his time to someone in need. Tom was as selfless of an individual as I have met. He was always willing to help, sometimes to a fault. His spirit of service will live on through those, like myself, who knew him.
