Tom was my Boss at Spencer´s at the Upper Valley Mall in Springfield Ohio about 1977. Super nice guy. We bought a car from him. He gave me a suit for homecoming. Can´t ask for a nicer person.

Hi Judy. It has been along, long time. I remember you from school must have been Benedict Elementary Anyways I moved away from Norwalk and moved back for a short time and saw Tom again at the title office. He was always so nice. So sorry to read of his passing. I have thought of you over the years and hope life has been good. Sincerely Deb
