I can still see Tom's smiling face when I walk onto my deck. He was the best neighbor and always had a kind word to say.

Dear Laurie & Family, ( including Patty & Richard)
I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Tom. I have wonderful memories of him as a fun and loving guy. Our families knew each other from St. Paul's parish in Clifton. During those early years we spent the same week at Silver Beach on the jersey shore and had a blast together.
I'm not surprised that his life was filled with serving people.
May God bless him and keep him and may He bless your family as well during this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Danny Gernat
