I am sorry for your loss. I met Tom many years ago when I was just getting started with my company, Edwards Safe and Lock Co., in Meriden. Even though I have moved away from there I always considered him a good friend. He was very helpful to me. He will surely be missed. Always keep him in your hearts and in your memories. Sincerely, Thomas Edwards
