Dear June and Family.........
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My relationship with Tom, was Merchandise Mart related. He was such a gentleman, and always there for the tenants. Tom was kind, and supportive, and forever humorous. His presense, and assets, at The Merchandise Mart, were NEVER replaced! We, who knew him, during the 'good years', respected, and applauded him!
God Bless!
