We lost one great man! Our fishing buddy has gone to a big lake in the sky. Tom had a great life, starting his career in the electrical field along side his dad when he was 16 years old. He married the love of his life, Susan in 1966, they were blessed with two children. He also took in two step-daughters and raised them as his own. He loved them all with his whole heart. Tom had to leave Farmington to follow his work but eventually retired in 2004 back in Farmington.
