Dear Maureen and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of Tom.
I talked with Tom between periods of one of the C.M. - B.C. High hockey games this past season. He told me of his illness, but was determined to beat it. I was stunned this morning when I heard of his passing.
God Bless

Maureen - So sorry we did not make it to visit before Uncle Tom's passing (he always felt more like a cousin). It was so nice to speak to him the night my mother and Doug arrived and glad he enjoyed the homemade donuts. We're thinking of you all. Maybe someday we will make it down and I'll get to meet you and my cousins.

Dear Maureen and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a wonderful man and one of the best EMT's I ever worked with. I have thought of him often over the years. When I think of the glory days of Bay State, he is one of the first people who comes to mind. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Maureen and Family.
I am one of "R.T.s" former full time partners from the great days of Bay State. With Toms' passing comes all the memories of Tom and his special family that opened their doors and their hearts to me, as well as countless others. The giant man with the giant heart who was at times a father to me, and always a "true blue" big brother. Tom showed the world what it meant to be a real man, with courage, leadership, and above all real class.. I was fortunate enough to visit with Tom alone, not long ago, and had the chance to tell him how much he meant to me, and how much love I have for him..I will miss "R.T." like one of my brothers, and cherish the memories for the rest of my life.. May God bless Tom into the kingdome of heaven, and bring peace and comfort to his family...

RT was what we called him. Two letters was all it took when you needed help. I saw his strenght many times and we shared laughs as well together. I will never forget his smile or his expressions of confussion I sometimes caused him. RT you were a gentleman & friend I will never forget. Too Maureen & family I am sorry.

I am a former "Bay Stater" Although I hadn't seen "R.T." in a very long time, all the memories of the "glory days" are still present and vivid. I will always remember him as a "gentle giant". A sweet strappng man, with a heart of gold. God bless him, and may you find comfort in knowing that he touched so many lives. Peace be with you at this very sad time.
