My husband was a patient and friend of Tom's at Westwood Dialysis. They both had transplants around the same time and were a great help to each other. Just want the family to know how much we thought of Tom and how much he'll be missed. He was a wonderful man and friend.

Tom was a shining light to his dialysis family in Westwood. I will always remember hearing his hearty laugh during Seinfeld episodes and his devotion to the Boston Red Sox.
