Tom was a great guy, I first met Tom 20 years on a duck hunting trip to Killarney Manitoba Canada, and I looked forward to it every year since. We had some great shoots, many laughs, and of course the ribbing’s we gave each other between the Wisconsin Badgers and Iowa Hawks, we use to text each other during the games. Tom I will miss your infectious sense of humor, your ability to find ducks for us to hunt , So Tom please have a Cesar in heaven, (Canadian Bloody Mary) and Tom you can “CALL IT” . Rest In Peace my friend .
