To my dear friend, mentor, advisor and business partner; you are missed already.
My life is far better and richer since our paths crossed.
I will miss your genuine warmth, honesty, humor, support, business advice and daily guidance. Your business acumen and strong leadership will be missed by our entire district.
When I think of you, I will remember a true gentleman who treated all those around him with respect, dignity and grace.
I'll see you in our next lives, Tom.
