    Although I only knew you for a brief time (one shift) I was so sad to hear of Tomâ??s passing. In that brief time I could feel the love between you and my heart breaks for you. I will keep you in my prayers!

    Fran, I wanted say how much I enjoyed working with Tom over the years. He was always willing to lend a hand or his knowledge to solve a problem or help someone. He always had great stories to tell and his Irish sprit second to none. He is one of the best guys I have ever worked with. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Tom Koziell LU 2274
