We met Tom this fall, when we did some painting at their house. What a great man—so organized and knew exactly how he wanted the room to look when complete. He even shared some of his glass work with us—sorry that we never learned the technique! He was so proud of his wife and son. May he rest in peace. Jim and Bonnie Thomas—–Marion, Iowa
