I met Tom while working for Rite Aid. He offered me an opportunity to move up the career ladder. I was hesitant, but he said I trust you and want you on my team. He became not only my mentor but a close friend. Anytime I had questions he always made himself available to meet with me. As years went on he referred to me as Cousin Al. I have no idea where that came from. He and Charlene attended Dana’s and my wedding. Tom
was one of a kind, he cared for those in his life whether family or friends. We will miss him. A person like Tom who is in your life is truly a gift. A gift that I am happy I received.
