Not sure what to say?

My heart is heavy. So many warm memories of Tom. For some reason, the one that stands out today is seeing him at the foot of a stairwell at Hamp High during the great blackout of 1965, calmly holding his cigarette lighter high to help a crowd of frantic kids get out of school safely. A shining beacon of hope and love for others, underneath a wry smile. I hope to see you in heaven, old friend. Be well.

I got to know Tom as he stopped at my store on his way into the diner each morning shortly after moving to the farm in Westhampton. Rest in Peace Tom

My family and I have known Tom since he worked at Brooks Pharmacy in Easthampton. He has always been known to us as the guy who would always go that extra yard for you and your family! Then as our kids got older our daughters wrestled together.. THAT was fun!! Tom has always been a ton of laughs! Even when he became ill, he still had a smile on his face, still snapping on his chewing gum, talking about his family and that tie collection! Rest peacefully friend. You will always be missed!

I didn't know Tom very well or for very long. Spent a week with him and others on a medical mission in Haiti. It was a good time, and a good team, and I will remember Tom for his pharmacy knowledge, his rye wit and his bottomless pocket of gum! My heartfelt sympathy to all those who loved him. Sincerely, Jill lewis

We read this with heavy heart; Tommy has been called home far too soon. We all have significant fond memories that cement the truth: Tommy was such an incredible treasure whether you knew him for a minute or an entire lifetime. Please accept our sincere, heartfelt sympathy in your time of loss of a life so well-lived.

When my mother was hospitalized and dying Tom would make anything that she requested, a gesture of kindness I will never forget.

Best butternut squash EVER! Tom was not only an empathetic and knowledgable pharmacist but a wonderful hardworking talented chef. Alexander's was the place to be and eat the best food. My daughter's baby shower was there as well as my Mom's 80th Bday. Many wonderful memories.

Still miss dining there!

Sympathies to the entire family

I knew Tom through Rite Aid. He was always cheerful and smiling. I talked to him often on the phone calling in scripts for pts and always before he hung up would say "Be Well". He will be missed. He was a Great Guy!!!! My prayers are with you
