Please accept my condolences to the family, as I am sure he will be sorely missed. Tom and I were good friends in the Kansas National Guard, and I was always hoping I could catch up to him and visit about the old days. He was a good man and a hard worker. We used to brain storm about buying out a small railroad, until we started thinking about all the factors that would make it such a risky business. It looks like Tom did it, and made it happen, and I am so happy for him and his family. I am proud to have known Tom and wished I could have said good by one more time. May God bless him and his family.
