I met Tom through his relationship to my late father.
Our families were three houses apart neighbors in the old pre development boom Westlake.
They both worked downtown and drove in together… discussing the world’s and region’s problems and how to fix Cleveland’s sports teams. This despite a 25 year age gap.
After my dad passed and I had returned to Cleveland, I got to know Tom better.
We had a couple lunches a year .
And I visited him in his condo after his medical issues developed .
He reminded me of my Dad in many ways and I enjoyed his company.
A fine man !
RIP Tom
