I am so deeply saddened by the loss of my dear neighbor friend Tom. My heart felt grief goes out to Lissa and Tom's family. He enriched my life over the years on a regular basis with our playful bantering back and forth across the street in regard to the state of affairs in our personal lives, Cook County and our Country. I will always carry memories of the view of Tom walking Gabby around on a leash outside. Sometimes Gabby would lead him over to me and we would visit until Gabby wanted to go elsewhere. Tom truly loved having a neighbor that hailed from Eveleth, our home town. Our families went to the same church, his mother was one of my catechism teachers and some of our siblings shared the same grades and eventually USFS connections. I am missing Tom terribly but will carry fond memories of his warm smile and our shared laughter.
