Default Corvette Steering Services... RIP Tom Reina...

My good friend and long time vendor Tom, did not return my phone call last week. Today when I called I was saddened to find out of his passing.

Many of you may remember Tom... just a caring individual who would always spend time going the extra mile to help someone. He was just as good of a person as you would ever find and he will be missed dearly.

RIP my friend..

Ernie.

That is very sad to hear, Tom was a pleasure to talk to and it was always educational speaking with him. A real gentleman and it was actually fun doing business with him. His products and services were superb.

He will be missed, my condolences to his family and all that knew him.

RIP Tom. I just bought a bunch of parts from him a few months ago. Can't believe he's gone.

Wow, just saw this. Sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Spoke with him on several occasions when I bought the jeep steering kit from him and when I needed help. Always a gentleman

Knew Tom for 20 plus years of buying parts from him. When ever I'd call I would make sure I had plenty of free time. He would love to talk. Great man!!
