<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">On behalf of the Tampa Bay chapter, Isabella and myself, our condolences and prayers are with the family and friends of Tom. Tom was extremely passionate when it comes to the National Federation Of The Blind in Florida, especially the guy dog division. You would always see him at stake convention with raffle tickets in his hand and encouraging others to participate in the 50/50 Flagdu. May Tom rest in peace and the family and friends of Tom find comfort in his passing. <br><br><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">-- <br>Miranda b.
