I worked out for many years at Bay State Building. I knew Tommy well - and was shocked to hear of his passing.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.

For one of the first times in my life I am at a loss for words. I know that Tom would find this hard to believe. I will pray that God will give his Family the strength they need to continue without him. May you all find comfort in the wonderful memories. Tom was a great friend who I could always count on for a Laugh and I will always miss him. Love ya Bud, Your friend, Michelle

A good son and brother then husband and dad, Tom was a good, considerate and dependable friend to those fortunate enough to have been called his friend and few will be remembered for living life as an example for all of the above. I don't worry even a little for Tom's soul. I pray for his family though, to be given the strength to get through this confusing loss and hope they remember that they will rejoin him and that the pain will pass.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I have always thought that the Munro family was the most loving and blessed family that I knew. To Uncle Jr. and Aunt Ann I wish that there was something that I could say or do to take the pain away that you and the family are all feeling. You both were there for my Mom and Dad, and all of my family during the time before and after there loss. I treasure you both for that. I think of my Mom and Dad everyday and that, along with my family helps to keep me strong. I hope that the same strength will build with the memories of Tommy. I don't believe that we ever lose a loved one. We just carry them inside of us. My heart goes out to all of the Munro and Huxley family.
