Tom was one of the nicest people I ever knew. For a brief time during High School he and I would hitch-hike to Vermont and go hiking on the Long Trail. We also both played the harmonica. I have thought of him often over the years, and I'm sad that I won't have the opportunity to bump into him at some time. I'm glad to see that he had what sounds like a happy life.
