Tom and I were best friends, starting in grade school - Whittier State Graded. We did keep touch over the years. I don't think Tom ever forgot anything. He could tell you in detail about people and events back to grade school days. He was a wealth of knowledge gained over the years.
He organized several grade school reunions. For our 50th in 2010, he even found one of our teachers, Mrs Geary, and arranged for her to attend.
The last time we talked, was for over 2 hours, just after Cindy passed.
Here is a picture from our 50th:
