So sad to hear about "Mackey". 35 years cannot dull the hilarious memories of the
"King of The Bartenders Ball" (Hunter Mountain circa mid-70's) My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May you find strength in your love, comfort in your memories and peace that he suffers no more. God bless all of you,

dear raine, ryan, and kevin, there are no words that can describe the grief of losing your best friend and father Tom. He was funniest,most honest, and truly a man of his word. I know he raised 2 beautiful boys together with you raine, and they will honor his legacy and make you proud. I know that in time you will all know that he is in a better place watching over you. ...And It was truly a privilege to be able to call him our dear friend.

Raine,There are no words that I can say to express how sorry I feel for you, and Ryan and Kevin to have lost their wonderful father Tom. He was so much fun, so honest, and a real man of his word. I hope in time you will all know that Tom[dad] is in a better place, not suffering anymore. Keeping him in your thoughts and prayers will keep his spirit alive. Remember what a great man and great friend he was to all that had the 'privilege' of calling him that.
