Tom was born in New Brunswick but was adopted by a family just 3 miles from where I live. He spent some of his childhood here. He's still a pretty big deal here and did come back to visit now and then and still remembered a lot of the older folks around. I was lucky enough to see him in concert a couple years back and he was still great! I started out listening to his records when I was a kid (sorry about rambling). He will be missed, RIP Tom. PS, that was a great story Piperl12.
