With deep sorrow I learned of your passing. As the previous entries have lamented, we had a great time in our younger years. The neighborhood gang was together since we were able to walk. Time and space move us apart but the memories stay. As long as you are remembered you are not gone. We'll all remember. Rest in peace Tommy.
