To the entire Waterworth Family:

I am deeply sadden to hear of Tom's passing. Tom worked with me and Red Shannley at Verizon for a couple of years and I came to know him well and really enjoyed his insight and words of wisdom. I also had the pleasure of being invited to be part of a deep sea fishing trip that Tom organized and was famous for cooking a roasted turkey for all to enjoy while on the water....tom was a "Beautiful" human being in every sense and my prayers and thoughts are with you and yours during this difficult time

Sincerely, robert grassia

To the Waterworth Family: You do not have to be reminded what a treasure you have lost, as has all his friends. Tom was a top quality person. He was a very dear friend to both me and my wife. I'll miss the weekly phone conversations we had on a myriad of topics. He had scheduled a vacation at our home for October to introduce us to his lady friend, Diane. On behalf of my wife Irene and myself, our deepest and sincere sympathy on your loss.

I remember Tom from St. Mary's. He was a lector and his voice was deep and awesome. I remember him reading from Genesis every year at the Easter vigil. He was a great friend of Fr. Loiselle's and he and his wife were always warm and friendly to me. I was good friends with his son Tom.

I was shocked to hear of the passing of his wife last year and still pray for her. Now I will pray for them both.

Memories....Tommy we lived right next to you growing up on Blanche Street. Your Dad was the best. He and your Mom shared with us, the Gertz's. I named my third son, William Thomas after your father. He wrote a poem for me the night I was giving birth to William Thomas. We have that poem as a memory. God bless your family and Kay..we loved you all dearly.

I have such fond memories of growing up together, sharing good friends, double dating, winning a jitterbug contest at the Commodore, and all the good times with our families when our children were young. It was great having you as my cousin. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
