It is with a heavy heart that I send condolences to the entire family of Tom Moore. So many fond memories of my time playing softball come to mind when I think of Tom. He was a man who touched and changed so many lives in all his adventures. Tom treated everyone as if they were a member of his family and he will be fondly remembered for all the good he did for many.
