Re: RIP Tom Tosco
Fair winds and following seas, Tommy... RIP...
I wasnt as fortunate to know Tommy as long as some you guys, but over the last few years, especially since The Sporting Life opened, I got to know him fairly well. A welcoming guy, always glad to see you walk in the store, even if just to chew the fat. He'd ask about my kids and family before asking about how I was doing--a small thing, but a very noticeable one.
Being in sales, I was often on the road prior to COVID. I'd detour and take my 'lunch break' spending 90 min to 2 hours at the store just talking shop. And I'd usually walk out with a pack or 4 of z-man jig heads, ned rig tubes, keitechs, 3 cotton cordells, a new Daiwa reel freshly spooled and a partridge in a pear tree lol...
He'll be missed...
