As I listened to WTAW this morning, there was a HUGE void without Tom’s recognizable voice after so many years. As a military retiree, I truly appreciate his dedication to recognizing veterans on the radio. Even though he has no idea who I am, I feel like I’ve known him for a long, long time. I will miss Tom’s humor, humility, and many years of athletics commentary. Know that you made a big difference in this community, sir. As we used to say in East Texas, “You done good.” Thanks.
