  I was managing a beautiful dump on Golden Gate Point and Tom
was keeping it from falling down. Before the kids were born he was teaching me to grow up and I'm 9 years older. Hasn't happened yet but I'd
like to think I'm almost half as good as he always was. He had his great business and family and I worked at the Golden Apple. Didn't see each other that often over the years but it was like we were hanging out and he was still teaching me. Kenny and Karen

I am saddened to hear this, Tom was a heck of a guy, he would give you the shirt off his back kinda guy. The world needs more guys like Tom, he will be missed by ALL that knew him.

Valerie,Jordan and family...we are so very saddened to hear of your loss, and are keeping you all in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.  Know that we are here for anything you may need.  Betsy and Tom Dane (Allie's parents)
