Tom

An old friend of mine passed away last week. The funeral is today. Truly a good good man. He will be missed. I can't say enough about keeping in touch with old friends. I didn't. That makes me sad. Mr. Tom was a fighter pilot in the Marines. He flew an F4 Falcon. He took the patches off of his flight jacket and gave them to my son years and years ago. I need to go find them and give them back so they can be given to his grand kids now. Pass downables. Mr. Tom flew the inaugural flight off the USS Nimitz. He was just 64. He was married to his sweetheart for 43 years. He will be so missed.
