I met Tom and Jeanie about 11 years ago at a fund raiser. He was the auctioneer with a great sense of humor. That’s how I will remember Tom. A wonderful friend with a personality that makes you laugh and appreciate the simple things of life like friends, family and dogs. Tom will be missed but his memory will forever have a positive lasting effect on all who knew him.
