I can't find the right words. It's just too sad. All my love and prayers to the Kolacki family. Tom was simply on top of the very best that's walked this earth. The best Dad and the best Granddad. Everytime I work a crossword puzzle I'll think of him. I can't imagine him not being here. Valerie. XXXOOO
