James NapperTom was a great person. As a co-worker and friend he would do anything he could to help you out. He was always willing to lend that hand. One of the funniest Thomas moments, I remember was when he laughed, it was big and infectious and made everyone join in. I know that the family misses him, but remember that image as he is no longer with you in body but in spirit. He is no longer suffering. May God Bless his soul and the family. Thank you for sharing him with us.
