RIP Tommy, I´m sorry we lost track of each other right after grade school when I moved away. You and Kevin Rawls made it to my wedding though! We had quite the group of friends on Kent drive!!

Annette,

Just heard from my parents that Tom had passed away. So sorry for your loss. In addition to being a good friend of Jimmy, Tom was always so kind to all the Harootians through the years. I have lots of fond memories from our "Kent Drive childhood."

Blessings to you and family,

Don Harootian

Dear Sis: I am so saddened to know of Tom's death at such a young age. He had a fun life as a young guy on Kent Drive, I know. I will always remember and tell the story of his and Tim's making casts for their arms so they wouldn't have to do wrestling after football season. Haroolock Stadium may not have been DOdger Stadium but it saw plenty of fun times. I pray for your peace - with love, "Mrs. Ashlock" - Gee Gee

So sad and sorry to hear about our Kent Drive neighbor! Although I hadn't seen Tom for probably 35 years I fondly remember the Kent Drive activities of hide and seek, swimming, and the boys playing baseball on the corner, all including Tom, my brothers, and the Harrootian boys. Prayers of comfort and peace to Annette and family.

To my west coast cousin. I wish we did not live so far apart from each other. The few times we did hang out we had a lot of laughs. May you rest in peace, your east coast cousin.

God speed!
