We don't know the cause of death yet, but the doctors suspect an 
aneurism.  Tom was only 56 (13 months older than me).
He was a woodworker so we did some collaborative projects; he made the 
wooden box, chest, cabinet, etc., and I made the hardware.

I never know what to say to except to offer my heartfelt condolences on 
your family's loss.
I lost my middle brother some 10 years ago. It is doubly hard for a 
parent to lose a child. We never expect that our children will precede 
us in passing....
