I learned a lifetime of knowledge off of Tom and Dick as too. The memories I have from spending time with them or going to Tom’s in morning and raiding his video game collection, were some of the fondest memories I have in my life. Especially my childhood. I love you Uncle Tom. We will all miss you. You truly were a special kind of person. Rip see you on the flip side.
