I met Tom during my time at Starbucks and we had became friends very quickly. He was the nicest person you'd ever meet and was the easiest person to talk to. On more than a million occasions he'd stop in the middle of a rush just to talk to a person and made sure they were doing good or just had something new going on life. He was always interested in what you had to say and never judged you or made you feel embarrassed. There were so many things like, little dumb stories or jokes I'd keep to myself at work and just waited for Tom to show up so I could tell him. He understood. He understood and had been there with his own stories and funny perspective. I hated it there but with him, you know, it wasn't so bad and I was never alone. He was an amazing person and will be missed deeply. But he'll remain in the hearts of every one who met him, from his family to colleagues, co workers, daily customers, the random out of town people visiting for graduation or even someone just passing by and noticing his awesome bikes and wanting to meet the owner. Rest well, friend.
