Dearest DeLuca Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Tom was truly a special person who was able to touch each person's life that he came in contact with in his very special way.

I know he will be greatly missed by all. God will give you strength.

Sincerely,

Leslie Baker-Heller

We were stunned and deeply saddened to hear of Tom's death. It's such a tragedy! We met Tom through business dealings (as a customer) but quickly came to think of him as a trusted, good-natured friend. We still do.



Although there's nothing we can do to reduce your suffering - only time will help - we at least want you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.



Sincerely David & Cathy Bier
