Val, we are so sorry that Tom’s life was cut so short–just when you needed him most. I know that you were his world. We know he is happy and free now; his only regret would be not being there for you. I know he is still there giving you silent support. Believe that. We will miss my brother and his fun sense of humor. That goofy grin…….Steelhead season will never be the same. We love you.
