Liz and Chick,
I just found out about your son, Tommy and I am so sorry. I live in Florida now and Sheri just emailed me and told me. I also let Joyce know. If you want to call me I still have a NY cell.

Thom, you will be missed down here man, bigtime. And I stress DOWN HERE because I know you're up there in heaven looking down on me and everyone else, probably still trying to get me back for giving you five dollars in quarters as change. You were one of the things that I liked about working at that store. My sympathy goes out to your family in this difficult time, both they and you are in my prayers. See you on the other side brotha.

Dear the Hamm family,

I am so horribly sorry for your loss. I only knew tommy briefly during PAL but he defiantly was a great guy. Mr. Hamm also was an amazing teacher... I don't wish this on anybody but this defiantly wasn't the family to do this too. Once again I'm very sorry my prayers & thoughts are with you.

Tom,

I can't believe this. We've known each other since 6th grade when our schools combined into oregon middle school and you were the first friend i made from a different school..Peter Pan play, friendlys with the sugar packets lol fun times, It was me, you, and josh. we had that sleep over and i remember going in your jacuzzi. we both had the same crafts class our senior year and all we did was sit there and talk(make fun of the teacher and galal) and get yelled at. i wish we could go back in to time and re-live the past. these moments i will never forget. you were a great friend and i'm going to miss you buddy. i know you are in a better place now. Thanks for the memories and i will see you again. rest in peace tom.
