I moved to Charleston in April 1973 to be the manager of Hertz Truck Rental. Tom was the rental manager at that time and continued in that job as long as I was in Charleston through July 1976. Tom, Vicky Cynthia (my then wife) and I became very close friends. Over the 3 years or so that we were in Charleston, our friendship grew very, very close. When I relocated to Jackson MS, our friendship continued to grow long distance. Over the years since moving, I have visited Charleston 6-8 times managing to see Tom each trip - sometimes he was the reason for my trip. We even vacationed together in New Orleans and had a great New Orleans time. We talked 6-8 times a year or more and each call started with "Let's Visit" I forget where that came from but it was the start of every conversation. Losing Tom has hit me very hard. I consider him to be one of my best friends ever and I will never forget him. he was that kind of guy. I love he and Vicky and am so glad that she came back into his life when he really needed her. Thank you Vicky. For me to say I am heartbroken is an understatement. Vicky will now become my Tom and the continuity will still be there. God Bless you Tom Ott!
