To The Barnwell Family,
I knew Tom from our days at St Francis of Assisi. We spent long summer days in awe of his baseball card collection and trying to convince him that Duke Snider was better than the Mick. When I went to the Garden I would always stop at Cosby's to say Hi. He always asked about my Mom and my family. A gentle man with a kind heart.
Rest in Peace.

Tom The Bomb:
How fond are my many memories of your corny jokes and wonderful happy go lucky disposition. You brightened many of my days, made me laugh, your wonderful smile back in the day at MSG (1973-80). Thank you Bomber. God bless you. You were one of a kind and a friend to many!
