To the family of Tom (Buddy). I had the opportunity to meet Buddy in H.S. So many great memories of those days seem to be flooding my head today. Like all the hiking in "sewer pipes" along with Dave G. Jim G and I. I am so sorry for your loss. Buddy was always a great friend and my regrets that we never kept in touch over the years. I see he was a great success, in his endeavors. No surprise to me!
Until we meet again my dear friend.....Love to the whole family.
Maj Tom Hallis was a great mentor, teacher and friend. He will be greatly missed!
