Oh my God , like everyone else that knew Tom - I am heartsick. Tom was such a dear friend - we had so many telephone conversations just for the sake of laughing. He taught me a lot and enjoyed any arguments I threw his way. What a joy the big guy was. I shall miss him but will always be grateful for his sharing of knowledge. My deepest sympathies to Marie ,Sandy and the dogs left behind. May he rejoice in his meeting with old departed friends and best of all - his dogs.
