My prayers and sympathy to Tom's family and friends. Tom was a true genius and best personality ever. The life of every party. No one who met him will ever forget him. He helped many people at no charge like Our Lord. He once told me to remember him as a "Man of Mercy". Amen to that. And he had true devotion to the Blessed Mother. Notre Dame forever. Paul Sparacino, Silver Spring, Maryland

Sincere sympathy and prayers to the family.
Tom was a very close friend at ND. His "nick name": "Sun-bun the Philosopher." A genius and philosopher he was!
