I enjoyed playing basketball with Tom as a member of the 1951 Midget Greenies. He was always fun and friendly to be around. The last time I saw Tom was at a
Cathedral reunion and our entire Midget Greenie team was in attendance. In 1951 we had a team picture taken and since all of the team members were at the reunion in 2002, we had another picture taken . Both pictures and a nice article all of us was printed in the newspaper on January 22, 2003. Curt Synness wrote the article. My thoughts and prayers for Tom and his family.
