Thomas F. Bamford

Just heard the news today...so sad. I spent several memorable years with Benny in Framingham during our college years. Benny, Pete Kari and I were inseparable during those years and they both were in my wedding. I don´t know if I ever knew anyone with a better sense of humor than Benny. The laughs were endless. I wish we could have had more time together. Heaven is a happier place now.

Tom was a wonderful guy we went to school and played hockey together in Natick and several times in Canada even seeing the Beatles in Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto when we were 13.

Benny and I became close friends during our senior year at Natick High, 1968-69. He would often join my band in playing lead guitar on our rendition of "Twilight Zone" to thunderous applause. Benny remained a solid friend through college. He and Paula seemed made for each other. The one thing I´ll always remember is that wherever we were, no matter how far from Natick or Westfield, Benny would always bump into someone he knew. It was uncanny. That was.Benny-always a friend, always...

All our thoughts and prayers to Tom´s family.. He had such a positive, happy attitude all while suffering in silence. Peace be with you Tom

Condolences to the Bamford family. Sincere thoughts and prayers to all.

Tom and I go back to grade school in Natick - I remember him wearing his Comets jacket and always holding his head high. RIP Tom - may your memories be a blessing. Jeff Aresty

My deep condolences to Christina, Jim and his family. Tom was always a great, standup guy and a good friend. May his memory be a blessing

I'm sorry to hear this news but Benny is now able to skate again without pain. Benny was a year ahead of me at Natick High. He was a legendary ice hockey player from his days as a comet to his high school career. We shared a love of Falmouth, Cape Cod and its many attractions. I will miss our conversations on Facebook. Next summer I'll go to the Knob and send him and Paula good vibes.

We met in 7th grade and went through Junior High School and High School together. He was a decent person and great friend. I am very sorry for your loss. Gershon M. Gulko, Worcester
