I met Tom around 1997. He had moved to Phoenix and was working at a local manufacturing company running their plating operation. My company needed to hire a Plating Engineer and Tom was recommended by a mutual acquaintance. The next thing I knew, we were best friends. Even after the years since he passed, I think about him every day. I miss my friend. Tommy, Timmy, and Wally, I feel like I know you guys! Tom spoke so much about you. I know he is waiting for us up there. Someday we'll all have a beer and shoot the bull together.
