I last saw Tom with his big smile, on the boardwalk riding his bike last summer, which he said he had been doing often. We were able to stop and talk and do some catching up. It is always good to run into childhood friends, as life passes us by so quickly and all we have left is our memories. I have many fond memories of Tom and alway will, another one gone too soon! My heart and prayers go out to his friends and family. He will be missed by us all. With my deepest sympathy. Linda (Marshall)Burgess
