Tom's Family:
Just wanted to extend my condolences. Tom was a wonderful man that I enjoyed meeting at the spa. His laughter and joy always made my hectic day better. I will truly miss a good friend and a wonderful human being. His laugh represented enjoyment of life. So saddened with his passing but feel fortunate that I got to know him. May God Bless his family.
