Tom was a kind man who taught me so much as I started my career just after finishing college. He always took the time to make sure I understood what he was explaining and made sure I could explain it back to him. I still remember not to ever plant flowers before Mothers day to always double-check measurements before reporting a discrepancy. I miss him and am so happy to have known him.

Love you Uncle Tom. I know you will be looking down on everyone with Aunt Christine now. Will always remember the truck rides through berkshire valley with all of us kids, the Giant's Superbowl get together, holidays and family picnics, and always having your support just a walk away for over 20 years of my life.
Love and miss you.
