I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. The short time that I knew Tom Tom, he always had a smile to share and a joke to tell. My thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Gayle

I am so sorry to hear about mr Cogbill. I would like to find out if he worked for adams street IGA before star tobacco. My family owned that business for 20 years and we had a loyal employee by that name for about 10 years.
