May Tommy R.I.P. He was our neighbor on Kentucky for as long as I can remember. I remember he & his "buddies" used to PARTY WAY TOO HARD. I also remember that once I was an adult (he was QUITE a bit OLDER than I by 15 yrs) he treated me to a SANTANA concert because he found out I LOVED his music. It was an experience to say the least a DIFFERENT kinda crowd. He enjoyed the LOOK of SHOCK on my face & LOL when he realized HOW AWKWARD I felt.
My condolences to his sons, Chris & Eric and Sheila Salas.

I am very sorry for the loss of Tom. I have known him since his family moved into their house on W. Summit. I graduated with Tom from Edison and my younger sister graduated with Cyndi. I remember him as a quiet and kind man. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends during this difficult time. There are no words that can describe the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who pass on "are precious in his eyes." Psalms 116:15; 1 John 4:9.
