I was so saddened to learn of Tommy's death. He was a special man and we have missed him for sometime now. His volunteer work at Some Other Place was so very appreciated...we could always depend on Tommy. He was a very sweet and kind man...Our hearts are saddened at his passing. May God be with you all.
