I worked with Tom at the Ford plant for a number of years. He was a reliable, conscientious worker, always up-beat and positive. He was a joy to be around and I know he will be missed. (I miss the banana bread he used to share with me once in a while). Please be assured of my sympathy and prayers at his passing. I thank God for the opportunity to have known and shared time with him.
