Sending our sympathy from the Rabin family, who remember Thom dearly from Horace Mann and Crawford. Thom was a rare and unique spark of life, always to be counted on for a lightness of being and a kind heart, from water polo to Old Globe theater field trips to skateboarding at the science fair. You're in our hearts.

Thommy my friend I called you brother. I will never forget the enlightment you provided me on so many subjects. Your willingness to drop everything to assist when ever called upon.

All us Boland's will miss you and remember fondly the good times we shared.

We hold our childhood memories of Tommy very close to our hearts and are very saddened to hear he is no longer with us. With heartfelt sympathy to the entire family.

Rest in peace Tommy!

Sweet and gregarious Tom...he gave me his Shaun Cassidy painter's hat, a John Travolta book...why? Because he knew how they'd make me smile....way back in 1978. I'm sure he continued to brighten the lives of everyone with whom he crossed paths ever since.....and that he's cutting a rug with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly now. Bless your sweet spirit, Tommy.

To re-phrase Will Rogers, Thommy never met anyone who didn't like him. The world has lost some of its luster.
