God bless you Tom. To a great friend and co-worker at 7up. You always gave and never expected anything in return God has a special place for you in heaven.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Love John

Tommy you will truly be missed. One of my many memories was when I was little and our alleys were getting paved. They had put heavy plastic over the cement. The curious kid I was decided to climb in underneath and make a tunnel. Got stuck and tommy came to my rescue and actually saved my life! Hence maybe start of saving lives as a paramedic. I had a major crush after that. So farewell for now. See ya at the gate...?
