My condolences to Eloise and family. Tom was not just a good man, he was one of a kind. He was a humble mentor to so many of us who had the privilege to work with him. Too many wonderful memories to count working with Tom and Eloise over the years. He will be missed but his legacy will live on with all of us privileged enough to have known and worked with him.

Eloise, my prayers are with you and your family. I had the pleasure of working with you and Tom as a first year IA State Fair employee. You & Tom's work ethic and help made my days so much easier and enjoyable.Tom with his wonderful smile and a positive comment to whom ever he was taking a ticket from. He especially enjoyed talking with the kids and you could tell they loved talking to him. I'm so glad I got to know both of you.
God bless.
