I have the sad duty to inform you all that this morning I received a phone call from Charlie Hern, informing me that Tom Thomas had passed away. I have no additional information as yet, How ever I called Jan and left a message on her tap to let me know if there was any thing we or I could do at this time. If the need arises I will keep you with any information I receive.

My hopes and prayers go out to the family and all who served with Tom. It is always hard to loose a comrade and a friend.
