I've known Tom for over 20 years. It hurts my heart that I'll no longer be able to talk to him and ask for his advice. He was both a friend and mentor. No doubt one of the best Surveyors I have ever know. I have so many funny and great memories of him! I'm so sorry I didn't hear of his passing sooner. The last time we talked to each other, in April, we had a pleasant conversation where we had some laughs about things we did together in the past. I'm happy, yet sad, that we actually were able to survey together one last time a year ago. I can't express how much I will miss him. God speed to my friend and mentor Tom Britt. -Fred Carlson
