To all of Tom's family, he will be missed. He kept me company at the bowling alley while he bowled and I worked, he told me of great family times and we would share up north stories. He was a proud dad and grandpa, he would tell me of his best buddy his grandson and their times up north. Glad I had the pleasure to say Tommy was my friend. Love you Tommy.

Kathy needed Tommy more.
Every time we hear "Woolly Bully" and "Why can't we be friends" at Riviera Lanes, we will think of Tommy "Cupcake".
We had many laughs and fond memories with him.
He was a proud Dad and Grandpa.
Tommy...Say HI to Kathy and BK for us.
Rest in PEACE...
