Tom will be missed and forever respected by his long time friends in healthcare. He was truly skilled, giving, selfless, gifted and admired by everyone. Tom loved and was loved by his patients and coworkers alike. Everyone felt safe and part of the team when Tom was on duty. Thank you for everything you taught us. We will take it from here.
Rest in peace brother.
