I remember OB trying out for the freshman football team at Brother Rice. He was smaller than most of us but his determination was greater than most. He would get knocked down but got right back up to fight again and again. He made it to the final cut, but did not make the team. He did however earn the respect of his classmates for his tenacity and grit. Those strengths are what I will remember the most, his laugh is a close second. Rest In Peace Tom. I will miss you. Our prayers go out to his loving family. All our love.

I am so so sad to hear of Tom's passing! I have a memory to share. On St Patrick's day I gave Tom a bottle of wine with Irish graphics on it and a saying in Gaelic, which he looked up to see what it meant. Thank goodness he had a sense of humor about it, we had a good laugh. I will miss his great smile.
There is another Angel in heaven!
My deepest sympathy and prayers goes out to his entire family!
