RIP Tom Perkins
Tom Perkins was a buddy of mine all through high school. He lived on Chili Ave, just inside the city line, a St. Augustine guy. We played pool at Olympic Park, went to the Grange, played football, hitchhiked around town. He smoked Larks. He was a really nice guy. We hung out all the time during those four years and then I never saw him again after graduation. Today I saw that he passed away 6.16.14. RIP old buddy.

Just saw this post. Very sad news. I new Tom slightly during high school, mainly from hanging around 19th ward places. Then I went to school at RIT with him. We were in the Accounting program together, where we became friends. He was a really good guy, and so generous with his accounting expertise. Helped me get through some nasty classes. Helped me with some funner things too! Have thought about Tom through the years, and am sad to hear of his passing.
ReplyDeleteJohn, Thanks for your comment about Tom. I am happy to know you were friends and knew his good heart.
