Remembering Tom for his warmth and hospitality at all the Sunday afternoon pool parties he so cordially invited us to and for overseeing and taking such good care of our grandchildren, Nathan, Maddon and Jason Carr. Our thoughts go out to JoAnn and the entire extended Carr family.
So very sorry for your loss, I remember Tom back in high school, was always very sweet. Our heart goes out to his family during this very difficult time.
