Where do I begin. You were an amazing man. As my sister Deyse Riker stated there was never a good memory in my childhood and on that you were not in. We celebrated holidays with you and you loving wife and I can't begin to expain how much you will be missed. We could always expect a card at our door on our birthdays and holidays through all the years. I will miss you dearly and will regret not coming to visit before you passed. we all love you.

There are no words to explain the impact you had in my life and the life of many. There isn't a speacial memory in my life from my first communion, my wedding and the baptism of my son that you weren't there. Your visits were wonderful and I will truly truly miss you.

Mr. Thomas will be missed by they many who knew him. He was truly and inspiration. Very inteligent, funny, and giving man. Our family was one of the first he helped out from the Brazilian community more than 15 years ago. Even though time passed, we all grew up and away he managed to always come by and visit. He was a very important person in our lives. Lorraine my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. We will never forget the many things you and Mr. "Tom" has done for us. The many times we spend with you and your family when my sisters and I were young, such as the time at the beach, and the world cup bet...We love you as a family and will miss Mr. Tom sooo very much.

Lorraine, Jeanne, & Family,
My thoughts are with you as you mourn your loss & celebrate Tom's accomplished life. The wonderful summers that we spent on Driscoll Drive will always be a cherished part of my life. His playing golf on the pine needle lined courses that Jeanne, Janet, & I created; the 4th of July sing alongs at the Conlin's; his July birthday parties - so many fond memories. I take comfort in knowing that He, Phil, Walter, & Joe are having one heck of a reunion!
