JoAnne and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Tom. I consider myself very fortunate having met Tom. My deepest condolences.

It was heartbreaking to hear of Tommy's passing....So many memories of lunches at Donny's with the city of Springfield elevatormen in the 80's , we could always count on Tom to bring a smile and lighten our work day. Loved the stories of his early days in car sales ..... Miss ya Tom! Condolences to your loving family.

We were very sad to learn of Tom's passing. We remember the "camping" trips to Virginia Park and the time spent around the fire. Those were some good times and great memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Joann and all your family. Love Ed and Dee Nacewicz

The most important thing in life is what you give, and not what you take. I met Tom while working at the
Dept. of Public Safety in Springfield. He certainly gave of himself, when out of the goodness of his heart, installed a stair lift for my husband who was suffering from ALS. I will always remember his kindness, as I'm sure many others will. I am so sorry for your loss.

I will miss my dear friend's laughter, which I can honestly say was the most contagious that I ever heard. Tommy and Jo welcomed my wife and me into their home as if we were family. I pray the most remarkable host is feasting well upon roast beast, twice-baked potatoes and peanut M&M's.

Tommy and Uncle Phil - once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi.

Dear Sister,

Tom and you have evoked so many memories. Here a few that I am thinking about right now:

•You had us sleep in your bed so we could experience a waterbed.
•The dog that came out of the woods and ran over the wet cement sidewalk.
•All the parties you hosted at your home.
•Nancy’s birthday party at our house in Stratham, NH.
•Fish and chips in Maine.
•Installing a chair climber for Nancy and later for me.
•You took care of Pa....
