tom smith

ok, so tom smith passed away yesterday.....and unlike reagan who also died yesterday, i am saddened by his passing.......and surprised......i knew that he had a recurrence of prostate cancer, but he had been in church every sunday up until last week......tom was the administrator of the hospital for 20 years....and i worked for him 18 of those years......he was partly the reason why i left.....and for that i am grateful...i may never have gotten up the nerve to make a lifechange were it not for how miserable i was due to some of his decisions and lack of support at critical junctions......regardless, he and his wife were frequent diners at trc, and he was always cordial and kind in asking about my children........i will miss seeing him at church.....he always sat in the same place (don't we all.......) and it will be sad today to see that space unoccupied........
