So sorry. Worked with Tom and his sister Chris at Marathon. Great memories working with both! Tom visited Apple Valley to play pickleball and golf. Everyone in Apple Valley enjoyed playing with Tom and doing lunch. Tom always had a smile and kind word! Take Care!

So sorry for your loss. I knew Tom from many years at Marathon. Also at 50N. He was always a gentleman with a nice smile and a kind word. Keep the good memories.
