I miss him so much . We talked about the eagles and just talking about life in general. We had dialysis together. He sat by me every treatment. So rest on my Eagles partner

Tom and my dad, Ray Smolka, were very good friends from Hercules. Tom kept in touch with me after my dad passed in 2014. I always appreciated his calls. So very sorry for your loss.
