I remember meeting Tom many year\s agg. When we met, I was a little down, and right away, he made me smile. I looked forward to his jokes and his sense of good humor. He also played any song I asked for him to play at the bar, and I will miss being a good friend of his. But, as they say, "It was His Time To Go Home, To The Lord" He will be missed by many people greatly. Rest In Peace, DJ TOM, and May God Be With You Now....

Tom and I met about 8 years ago. When he found out that I was also a DJ, he immediately took me under his wing. He introduced me to people and helped me build up my music collection. Throughout this, we became great friends and took road trips to DJ conferences and performances all along the east coast. We spent many hours in the car driving to Richmond to DJ for the night just to drive back at 2 in the morning. I have so many memories with him that I will keep close to my heart. I will miss his smile and his laugh (while clapping his hands). We love you, Tom, and we'll miss you very much.

I have been friends with tom for more years than i can count. My heart is sad but happy i had him as a friend for all these years. He was a creative talented person and a dear friend to me. I have so many good memories of our travels together. My memories will live forever of my friend. He will not be forgotten by so many who he touched with his music and quick humor! I love his family and appreciate my final moments with him. God bless and his family is in my heart.

Tom will forever hold a special place in my heart and never be forgotten. Being a live singer in the Hampton Roads area, he was a key player a major supporter of me being able to do what I love to do, entertain. We not only shared a passion of music, we shared something few people find (or understand) in this world... friendship.
I will always remember you, Tom, and forever keep your memory alive. Your music will continue to live in our hearts, forever!
My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Family & Friends of "Tommy". You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
