    Wow just searching for friend Tom and ran into this! Hit me more than. The Virus.
    Cannot reveal my emotions!
    I’ll take a glass of wine (as we used to do on our back porch in Cincy with Tom – well not A glass) and look at his art from his first showing (compete with door lock) and also to his Birthday gift to me of one of his 4 seasonal works (the other 3 seasons were hung in the Cincinnati Music Hall).
    Hope he got to enjoy the last remaining bottle of Du Cru from the case we bought together.
    WOW = WHAT A LOSS.
    Will miss Tom (Larry Mary too).

    So heartbroken to hear of this deep loss… and for Jimmy amidst all of the anguish that has preceded it. Loss of a dear friend… so hard to take. I knew Tommy rather well since I worked for Jimmy at Met O
    Condolences to all. His art will, indeed, live on, as will his spirit, surely. ~ Mary Ann
