Hi Susan - Sue-Ann and I are so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Although it's been years since we last communicated, Tom is one of my good memories from my time in New England. From day one when we met at Ericsson, we just connected. He called me Jake, and I called him Elwood, and I loved to hear his story about Flip and Flop the Flying O"Brians from Clinton. I remember when things were getting really crazy at Ericsson we moved into the corner of the sales room together and put an army helmet on the top of the cubicle with a signed that said "DAS BUNKER" an allusion to the German submarine movie Das Boat. I'll miss my old buddy.....

Very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We were neighbors growing up on Berlin St. Since he went to Catholic schools our interactions were few. One sticks in my mind. The Rhubarb bush in his back yard that we used to enjoy, maybe enjoy isn't the right word, breaking off one or two and chomping on them. Making faces was the best part. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I know he will be greatly be missed. Ray.
