It's Tom McGurk's birthday! Owner and maestro.
You told us you were named Thomas because you were born around Thanksgiving. While that may be true, you are certainly no turkey, sir!
You always rise to the occasion when we need a troubleshooter. Hard work, a puzzled client, and standing water are merely molehills to you. If we could, we would make you a Bad Animals cape!
When we say Happy Birthday, we celebrate your big heart, intelligence, optimism, talent, and creativity (the list goes on). May your Thanksgiving and special day bring you more joy and love than you can muster. Group hug!
