There are so many great and funny memories of Tom. One of my favorite a time we were driving on a back road headed to a ball field. Tom and his brother were religious about playing on their team named the "Rocks". I had an ice cream cone and not wanting it, threw it out the window and over the roof of the car. Unknowingly it went into the window of a passing car. Next thing Tom knew he was being chased and forced off the road by the driver of the passing car. Tom jumped out of the car ready for the fist fight. It took a lot of apologies to the driver to keep the punches from happening. Tom you will be truly missed and always loved.
