Ex-Pennaluna co-worker recalls Bard in rhyme

Here's a photo of Tom Wobker, right, and his Pennaluna & Co. partner Ron Nicklas, taken by Jesse Tinsley/SR in spring 2003.

Tim Haakenson worked side-by-side with the late Tom Wobker at Pennaluna & Co., without knowing that he was The Bard of Sherman Avenue. In an email to Huckleberries, Tim called Tom “one of the greatest people I’ve ever met.” And he offered this rhyme in Tom’s remembrance:

Next to me working hard,
my friend Tom the secret Bard.
On to greener pastures gone,
your written words living on.
