We were very sad to learn of Tom's sudden passing. He was nearly the first friendly face we met when we moved into West Oaks 15 years ago and he offered to cut my lawn with its terrible hill, and it was a real pleasure to talk with Tom and Barbara over the years, even after they had to cut back and I had to grow up and take responsibility for that hill to mow. Tom was a role model for how to be friendly and strong, and we are very sorry for his loss to his wife and family.
