April 10, 2006 - 07:32 PM Bonnie Allgood - lebon651@comcast.net Tracy family, I just learned today by mail about Tom and I am so very sorry. I've lost a good friend and a wonderful person has left planet earth. I just want you to know that your Dad and husband was the nicest man I ever worked for "bar none". I will probably return to this site with more memories of my 7 plus years with GPD/TEC, starting as a part-timer and ending as a supervisor in the core credit and accounts payable departments. I loved him very much, he made me laugh, at so many times and he was very generous with his employees. I still have the clock that he got for me on one of his trips to Belgium. He asked me if there was anything I wanted and when I said "A Black Forest Cuckoo Clock" his reply was a question. What kind of horse? Cracked me up and when I explained he wanted to know how much I could spend. When I told him he said okay and that was that. The next thing I know I have a clock, it runs to this day and is just behind me right now in my work room at home. When ever I hear the cuckoo I think of your Dad and always remember how I came by the clock. What boss would take the time to shop for a clock for an employee and make sure it got sent to America? I have never worked for anyone since leaving Toms employment and have only had my own business for 5 years until we moved. I used him for a ruler in dealing with people and made the business show a profit from day one. He left a wonderful legacy for all in my family. Hope you have a sweeper to ride!!! The Allgoods Leon, Bonnie and children (Tom's favorite "Jack Baptist") inside joke with Tom. I will love you forever and have only the best of memories of you. Bonnie IP : 67.186.214.34 |
