Tom was my mentor in the car industry... I worked with Tom at Windsor Motors for 10 years and had many laughs and triumphs with him... one of my fondest memories was Tom going out for scratch tickets and the time he actually won 10K he couldn't believe it he had me check the ticket twice.. such a wonderful soul... .My thoughts and prayers go out to Ann and the family...take care...

One of the nicest men that I have ever met.....and that was bout 1968-69 at Windsor Ford. Tom was a great positive influence towards me and it was always a pleasure to be greeted by him, with his firm handshake, smile and good natured laughter. Tom was fiesty, witty, charasmatic, sincere and i am glad to have called him a friend.
