Memories and Condolences

Shawneen and family, I am so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. Tommy was my best friend growing up in Chelsea. He was my daughter's Godfather. He lived at 151 Summit Ave, and I lived down the hill on 50 Franklin Ave. We were mostly inseparable during our Childhood. He was my best friend from first grade through high school, and he never stopped being that. He slept over our house countless times. Tommy is in most of my childhood memories. We went everywhere together. We had so much fun. He would always make me laugh. I loved him like the brother I never had, and I still do all these years later as weird as that might sound. I can go on all day about our youth and the fun we had together. Meatball subs at Storti's. We played baseball at the soldier's home. We went to many games at Fenway Park, and he ate more Pizza than anyone I ever knew. We went to the movies together. Whenever we went to Revere Beach swimming or on the amusements he was always there with me. My family loved him too. Regretfully, I never really got to know him as a grown man, but as a boy I knew him better than anyone. He had a big heart with enough room for a lot of love to share. He was one of the most generous decent human beings I ever encountered even as a child, and he shared everything he had with me. What a great friend!! Thanks for the memories.

Shawneen I am so very sorry to hear about Tommys passing, he was always so very pleasant and kind to me and my family from the old original brown jug days and the sagamore club... Tommy was always one of my favorite customers at the jug... I always enjoyed seeing his bright happy smile when he walked in and I enjoyed talking with him at the jug or at the sagamore club... Ill always remember how he would come over to my Mom to say hello when she was there and He always remembered to wish her a happy birthday too... they were both St. Patricks Day babies My Sincere and Deepest Sympathy to you Shawneen and your beautiful family. I enjoyed viewing the video on here its exactly the way I remember Tommy and Im very happy to see his beautiful smile throughout his life. Rest Peacefully Tommy
