RIP Tom...

Tom was a very good customer of ours as well as a great asset to the antique truck hobby. I'm sure he will be missed greatly. Deepest condolences to his friends and family.

Tommy Z was a dear friend of mine, I cannot believe that he is gone. His brother Bill told me that he was driving to work yesterday, and had a massive heart attack in his truck, and said, that is where he would have wanted to pass =)

I was with Tommy a few days ago and he was fine, I cannot believe he is gone, its going to take some getting use to.

Tommy LOVED trucks, he has them stored everywhere, I use to think it was a good thing that I didnt have a large back yard, so Tom wouldnt ask to keep a newly found antique treasure there, now Im kinda wishing that I could look in the yard and see something that Tommy loved so much. I dont know what Im going to do without our weekly dinner meetings at the Acropolis, where Tommy always finished my "Greek Style" porkchops,, or who I am going to call to find out where to dump a load of concrete, or the best place to get a piece of equipment. He was my encyclopedia man of the Construction Industry =) It hasnt hit me yet, Tommy was way too young........... What I am going to miss most is our Porkchop Dinners, are arguments about "Politically Correct" subjects, honestly he would just like to ruffle my feathers, He thought he was always right (most of the time he was) How we would sit out on the corner of Frankford and Girard and joke and kid around about all the different walks of life that would pass us by, he would make me laugh so hard that my cheeks and belly would hurt! He loved music and loved to sing, he would start singing out of no where, and I loved to hear him sing, and we would argue over who the artist was, what song, what label, etc Tommy was a stand up man,. he was an incredible friend, and my heart is a little broken right now, Im going to miss him terribly. Arrangements have not been made yet, but as soon as I hear something I will share that info on a post

Thanks for letting me write this, it feels good

WOW! I never met him but I had talked to him a cou[le of times on the phone about trucks and inparticular my truck which he had actually done work on when it belonged to Cliff. He actually was with Cliff when he bought my truck back in '06 at Macungie. Even tough he did not know me when we talked on the phone he treated me like he knew me forever. He could definetly make you laugh. What a terrible lose. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the BUG!!!
