Tom and I first met in kindergarten at Lincolnwood school and we became fast friends.  He became the brother I never had.  Even though we were in separate halls at ETHS, we hung out all the time.  He was so musically talented that even though he could not read music, all he had to do was hear a composition once, and he could play it  on the piano. What a talent. We fished together, chased girls together(unsucessfully), and lost all our money at our weekly poker games. He was the best friend a person could have..I will miss him.
