    To Jane and family, sorry about your loss of Tommy. We were friends for a lifetime and have a lot of memories of things we did that we talked about every time we got together like hunting and fishing, swimming in the lake, driving the gravel roads shooting groundhogs and stuff we shouldn’t, sleeping in the old barn behind his house, and. Lot of other stuff I can’t talk about, that I will never forget in my lifetime. God bless you.
