I remember Tom as always having a smile and a positive attitude.

I think back to a time when I was able to watch him at the Gold Creek Riding Arena.  I was so impressed with his ability to control the horse.  I'm not surprised to hear that was a big part of his life for many years.

We tried to keep in contact, but with growing family committments, we both went on with life and lost contact.  The last time I saw Tom, we both showed up to inspect a home.  We had a good visit catching up with what was going on in our lives.

I enjoyed his company and will always remember those times we shared in our youth.

RIP Tom!
