  Tom , it is hard to believe you are not with us. angel  I am sorry I was unable to say good bye. Cry The last time we talked was a good talk. 2funny You are missed by me and many others. Undecided
  To your family , he was a great brother and I hope to remember him for as long as possible. Age is creeping up on all of us.  If it was not for a can of Oldstyle beer , We may have not really met , just said hi and who knows.   My wife , Bonnie met Tom in La Crosse Wi. She liked him right away. They talked for a long time. 
    Tom was a Veteran.

No doubt he was a good man . He crosses my mind all the time. This picture was taken after the chemo had took his hair and beard and he thought he was getting better   Cry

I was fortunate enough to Not only share wind with him but we broke bread together and shared a drink or three together. The Old Style Beer Ross-da prez-relates to happened in Eureka Springs Arkansas  back in 2012 I believe. Couple old gnarly Nam Vets remembering. I believe I speak from fact-Santa Tom and I became friends. Santa Tom-you Are MISSED my friend!  angel RIDE SAFE.

I will always remember Santa Tom, especially around this time of year.
I especially remember a good conversation over breakfast one day, on the way back from a ride in the Smokies.
He shared his thoughts about the time he was stationed in Germany, close to where I live.
Every time I met him he had such a positive attitude, even after he got sick.
R.I.P. brother.
