To Tom's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I haven't see Tom for a while but I'll always remember his amazing impersonation of Elton John on one of the Edward Jones annual trips. It was hysterical! He brought wise counsel, joy and happiness to everyone he touched. Family, friends and clients were blessed to have Tom in their lives. He was a true light in this world and will be greatly missed.
