Tommy,Lindsay and Chris-- I'm so sorry for your loss! Tom was like my Big brother and best friend! I can't count how many times he was there for me when I was down and out! He always knew how to make me laugh! We met three years ago and it was like I knew him my entire life! I can not express over words how much he will be missed! I love you Tom RIP my Brother!

Tommy, your dad was always so proud of you and all you have and are accomplishing. What a great man he was - we enjoyed seeing him so much at Sportsplex. I will miss his big smile and happy demeanor. We are here for you always Tommy!! My sincerest condolences to you and your sister. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Ray,

My heart goes out to all Tom's family. I had the honor of knowing Tom, although only for a short time, and he was a great man with a big heart. He will be missed by many. There was not one conversation where he didn't express how tremendously he loved his kids. Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers from a compasionate friend.

Lindsay, Chris, and Tommy,
We are all thinking of you and pray you are there for each other, today and always. I know you will. Love you,
Emyli and Andrew Quain

Tommy and Lindsey.

Ryan and Austin and Roberta join me in telling you how sorry we were to hear about your Dad. Tom loved you kids so much and was so very proud of you. He loved having fun and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He loved interacting with people and sales was the perfect job for him. I am glad we had a chance to meet you when you came up north. We will never forget Tom.

Ken, Roberta, Ryan, Austin Shimko

I will miss Tommy very much. When I was deployed overseas, he would send me emails to keep me from getting bored. When I finally moved here, he was not only my cousin but my friend. He loved his family passionately and this world lost a great man.
I miss you, Tommy.
