“I worked with Tom at Sunscript Pharmacy in Nacogdoches for several years and always considered him an excellent pharmacist and friend. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. For some reason, after all these years, I was thinking of Tom today and decided to search for him on the web. I am saddened to see the news. Stan Turner”
