We lost a great friend. I golfed and drank a lot with Tom. We threw a lot of parties together.
Cubs Roof parties on a Friday afternoon every June, July and August for years. We did the first Commercial Real Estate Client Christmas Party together with 100 people, it grew to over 600 people in later years. I was on the tee box at Lake Lawn Lodge with him, Pat and Danny Boy when Tom got a hole in one on the 12th hole! We all bumped beer bellies, jumping up and down..
It was awesome!
Had beers with him and Andy Fitzpatrick in downtown Crystal Lake, off the train..
He was a great Entrepreneur and Sales guy, never afraid of anyone or anything, always looking for the next deal..
Absolutely loved going to happy hour downtown or a Cubs game with him, Mezznerr, the Harem, and the rest of the crew after and during work on a Friday..
I am truly sad today, since finding out yesterday..
Miss you man!!
Your friend always, Ernie
