I knew Tom for the past 26 years and I’m very saddened to hear this news about his sudden death. He will certainly be remembered for his kindness, always willing to help whenever needed and his great positive attitude about all situations. He got along very well with his peers and all employees at work, Tom was very hard working employee and he loved his family very much. He will be greatly missed by all of us and our prayers go to his family who loved him so much.
