Your Dad will always hold a very special place in my heart. He was my dad's first friend at the Garlands and introduced my Dad to his girlfriend Arlene. I don't know that my Dad would have had such a great beginning at the Garlands without your Dad. I am so thankful for their friendship and for the friendship that I had with him as well. Tom will be greatly missed.
