Dude..
I lied when I said 3 miles..
We are probably less than 2 miles from the Miller house.
Crazy bro!
I also uploaded the latest picture of CJ, from Easter 2010.
This kid is a riot... All he cares about is Cell phones and Laptops.. Forget toys.. Who needs them...
Anyway, you are a grandfather now, so make sure you drop in on your Son and Daughter in Law..
Congratulations..
Christian

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM
I could not let this day go by without thinking of you. I miss you much and think of you often. By now we would have had a big party for your 60th birthday, and of course we would be joking about how handsome you look for an old guy. We will be toasting to you and thinking of all the good memories.Good things are in the making as we await the arrival of two new members of our wonderful family. Thomas and Nicole will make you a grandfather and Andrea and Nathan will make Woody and I Grandparents as well. I only wish I could share this JOY with you. Merry Christmas and may PEACE BE WITH YOU! Love your sister Kathy

Dear Tom,
Today I write this to you in spirit. It's December 19,2009 and in 5 days from now it will be your birthday on Christmas Eve. I remember how you didn't like if we used Christmas paper for your birthday presents and so we tried to separate the presents so that a pile would be just for your birthday. It was always a little difficult giving you the time that should have been yours on your birthday and you let us know that you felt your birthday sometimes got lost in the hecticness of Christmas wrapping and shopping.
Tom, we would have been having a very big birthday party for you this year, as I did when you were 30, 35 and 50, becasue this year you would be turning 60. That is so hard to belieive becasue you were still so good looking and young looking at 58, two years ago when you passsed.
I miss you terribly Tom...
Thomas, Jessica, Nicole, and I will be once again going out to dinner on your birthday. Thomas and Nicole will drive down from Lake Placid where they live. We will make a toast to you and send you all our love,"Happy 60th Birthday Honey".
Your sisters and brother, my sister and brothers, my parents, our neices and nephews miss you. You were very loved...I hope you knew that.
Tom, please ask the Lord to watch over us all.
Nicole and Thomas are expecting a baby. How proud you would and will be this April, God willing.
Love your wife and Queen Bee,
Ronnie

My brother, My friend
I cant believe how much time has passed without seeing your smiling face. I miss your drive byes. Even if Ronnie invented them. I miss all the laughs, all the jokes, all the dancing,all the sad times. I miss it all. I miss you! I think of you every day. Something will remind me of you and I will miss you all over again.
I know how proud you were of your family. You would be proud of them still. Your son is going to be a dad wow! That would have blown you away! Jessica is doing well as usual she is a winner. Ronnie, oh Ron she is having a hard time without you. But she can lean on us. because thats what we do. We will always be there for our family because we are just that FAMILY! LOVE & MISS YOU YOUR SIS TERI

I still can't believe he is gone. We always had fun at all family affairs! Miss him there. I will always remember what a good time we had at the Rolling Stones concert. He is missed by me and many-we will always miss him. Blessed Be Ronnie.

The messages written on behalf of Tom really warmed my heart-thank you.
Tommy was the love of my life, my Rock, my husband. I miss him every day; he passed away too suddenly. As I reflect on some of the things you all wrote about him on his Guest Page, I realize that everyone knew that Tom lived life fully.I am glad! He invited people to share with him in the little joys of life. Nicole Micelli, his niece, mentioned how he made pumpkin pies from scratch each fall for everyone, Christian Puma, his nephew, wrote about Tom's sense of humor and how the two of them would make fun of my relatives "in a kindly way" HA!
Tom loved going to Met and Jet games and got me to love going as well. We went to concerts and played golf. Most of all though, I just loved going home knowing I could rely on him to be there, to share the stories of the day, to not be grumpy and to enjoy a good meal with me. I miss him dearly and can't believe I lived a year without him. How is it possible?. Tom acted as if all the young people were his friends, including his kids, Jessica and Thomas. He was competitive with them, yet loved them. His "jiggly leg dance" at weddings was so much fun to watch. One time, at Andrea and Nathan's wedding, he took on a 20 year old in a"jiggly leg" dance out. What a guy!
Where will we be without you Tom?
I think in my heart I know. We will be there for each other. My family and friends have given me so much love, offered me their companionship and helped me get back to wanting to plan to do things - I thank them. Some people have told me that Tom's passing has helped them look at life a little bit differently - perhaps the way Tom must have looked at life. An enthusiasm for having good,clean fun - no hang up's about embracing life fully.
I miss you Tom; ask the Lord to watch over all of us;love your wife, Ronnie.

As some of you may or may not know, my Uncle Tom was quite the dancer. I often think back to the countless family affairs we spent "shaking it" on the dance floor, alongside my mom of course. I can honestly say I think we were the only ones in our family who were willing to leave the buffet when a good song came on. To this day, I can't think of anyone I'd rather share the dance floor with.
My Uncle Tom was also an incredible baker. Every Fall, he would make homemade pumpkin pies, which I might add is very time consuming...but, he insisted. I looked forward to those pies every year, which I was lucky enough to receive multiple times. Since his passing, My Aunt Ronnie, and Cousin Krista have attempted to re-create these pies without success. Nothing seems to compare to his original masterpieces- I never knew anyone who could work such wonders with a pumpkin.
Most of all, I'm going to miss my Uncle Tom's sense of self; let me explain. My Uncle Tom was so incredibly down to earth- just give him a miller lite and he was good to go. He always had a smile on his face, and was always ready to crack a joke, even if it was possibly "crossing the line". My Uncle Tommy was also so young at heart, which is why I feel we were able to "click" the way we did over these past few years. I can't say that I saw him as much as I wanted, but when I did, it was as if we just understood each other, regardless of if we were talking or not. Not many people meet someone who they can share this with, and yet I was lucky enough to have such a person in my own family.
I miss and love you dearly Uncle Tommy, see ya later.

Has it really been a year since I saw your smiling face? How could that be. I think of you often and miss you lots. I miss your laughter and great sense of humor.I promise to keep on smiling with you and hope that you know how much I love you.
You have left behind a beautiful family and they continue to make us PROUD.
We will never forget that "WE ARE FAMILY"
To Ronnie, Jessica, Thomas and Nicole
my heart is broken along with yours but I will continue to have faith.
May Tommy rest in Peace.

Well what can i say.. Tom or as I say Uncle Tom, "The Irishman", was not ONLY an uncle but he was my CLOSE friend. He was half of my comic duo! We always found ways to make the family laugh!
Tom was the type of guy that ALWAYS told you what was on his mind. I admired that.. He and I were so similiar in that aspect.. "Dont ask the question if you do not want my honest answer"
He was always ready for a party, and would never come empty handed! "Miller Lite's.. ALWAYS"
He was awesome on the Micelli Family Cruise, at the Thomas' bachelor party and would always love a Spur of the Moment trip to the casino.
Lake George was his SAFE HAVEN! The Point on Gull Bay was great at Sunset with Campfires, Stupid Stories, making fun of your family and of course a cooler filled with Miller Lite's.
Tom, I can only say one thing.. I Love Ya Friend, I will MISS YOU and I will do my best to get them at the tables and to keep "Ol Blackie" (1992 Chevy S10 Pickup - The Tar Mobile) running!!!
You Are and Were the master of Fun!

Words can not tell you how sad I am that Tommy is no longer with us. Working with Tommy for 6 years was a joy. He was a funny generous man that made the best pumpkin pies. I am so sad that the turn of events put him in this situation. I pray for him and his beautiful family. The memories that we all have of Tommy will help us get through this.
