I went to middle and high school with Tom. We both played trumpet in the band and I was usually a chair behind him, when he was second chair I was third, when he was first chair I was second. We both loved music and had a lot of fun in jazz band, pep band and just messing around. In junior high we would get a pass out of study hall to go jam in the music room by the gym. If there was a gym class, we loved to crank up our version of "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova, with me on my old Peavey T-60 guitar and Tom on drums. He was a very talented musician. We got recruited to play trumpet for the choir when they were doing a version of Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. Tom was able to play the trumpet solo with ease, I had to mostly fake it and follow him. He has been gone for awhile, and was taken too soon. I know he was also a talented pitcher and loved baseball, so I wasn't surprised to see he coached that as he had kids and got older. I wish all his family love, peace and healing.
