Tom was my best friend through Willard and John Deere, and into high school.  We spent untold hours together at his house and around town.  His parents were wonderful.  They took me to a Moline - Jefferson of Cedar Rapids footall game one Fall in their '53 Buick Skylark convertible, and I spent many days at their camp on Rock River beyond Barstow.  Tom, Trif, Marie- until we meet again.
