Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. I have many fond memories shopping at the tack store as a little girl. He helped me find just thr right brush for my first ponies. As I grew older and visited the tack shop often. I loved talking with him . He was always so helpful and kind. I know he will be missed by so many.

Tom will be greatly missed and never duplicated for the great person he will be remembered for. He was always going the extra for his customers who he considered his friends. He leaves a legacy of his qualities with his family. Each generation reaped many special traits that Tom was known for.
