Tommy, my dearest cousin. As I remember you this week, I think about walking you to kindergarten as children. Therefore, I consider myself instrumental in the kind of man you became!
I think about what a wonderful friend you were to George. I think he's waiting for you on the back nine for a few more rounds.
I think about all the silent, generous things you did that you thought no one knew about.
You'll always be remembered as the most kind, generous, caring and giving Gentle Giant.
I will miss you and I will try to follow the examples you set for patience and caring for all others.
Go in peace; Dad, Mom, Michael, George, Auntie Ann and Uncle Money will have their hands out to bring you to the other side.
Rest in Peace.
