Hi. I just wanted to let you all know how much Tom meant to me. I met Tom at Jewelry Television about seven years ago, just a few weeks after my dad passed away. I quickly learned that Tom was exactly like my dad. They had the same quick one-liner come backs. They both had a strong presence that made it so you just knew when they were in the room. Both funny and both flirts. He was exactly like my dad, and I was always telling him that I think that my dad MUST have sent him to me to help me get through my hard time. I just couldn't believe how much they were alike. I adopted him as Daddy Tom. That's what I always called him. He meant so much to me. I moved back to Vermont a few years ago, and I kept in touch with him. Not as much as I should have, but I did call. I was so absolutely heartbroken when I learned that Tom had passed away. I really felt like I lost my dad all over again. I adored Tom. He meant the world to me. I am so very very sorry for your loss. I just wanted you to know how much he meant to me. I was a great comfort to me when I needed it after my dad died.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Robin
