"I spent probably 20 years behind the bar in both my establishments with probably 20 to 30 people constantly blowing smoke at me." —Tom Saxe, Genesee

Tom is the owner/operator of Saxe's Dining and Banquets. He's a seasoned veteran of the restaurant business, and was even president of the Milwaukee Restaurant Association for three years.

When it was discovered that Tom had cancer, his attitude towards secondhand smoke changed. Going through chemotherapy, and the hardship it placed on his wife and family, is something Tom wishes on nobody.

Tom is now cancer-free. He believes it's time for Wisconsin to go smoke-free, and keep others from suffering like he did.
