Jeff that was a big help to me. I actually laughed when I saw Tom with a spoonfull of Vegemite, (our Aussie staple diet) and wondering how the big fella reacted when he tasted it.

Thank you

Tom actually liked the vegemite.  He liked to eat it on toast.  BLECH! :)   He and I had more than one conversation with him trying to explain to me the virtues he saw in it. Tom could see virtue where no one else could.

Especially when it came to food. :D  Tom used to say to me, "I'll eat most anything."  I would reply, "No Tom, you will eat most everything."

WOW! Great tribute video, Jeff.
I know Mr. Tom even better now.
I drew a lot of stares and questions today at work. I wore a red T-shirt along with my standard Navy Working Uniform digital camies when I got dressed this morning at 0530. It's good to be the Chief! I told those same folks that it was worn in tribute to a great man that had gone away from us on a long journey. We'll be meeting again sometime in the future-time and date to be determined.

Touching tribute.  Good job Mr. Jeff.
Who made that block with the burned pic of Tom, did he?  Or someone else?  And is it up on the ceiling?

He will surely be missed.  This year we have lost a lot of friends and family.  I always loved the advice Tom gave on subjects.  I am still in a bit of shock.  It is good to know he is in a better place.  An old friend in his 80s once told me the old passes on to make room for the young.  On here I have seen how men brag about those cute little grand daughters and grand sons that make a great addition to their lives.  I would hope and pray this was a great past time he will be truely missed but not forgotten.
