Read MoreYesterday marks a year since I last spoke to Tom. I've missed his smiles, jokes and stories about Bruce this year. He was an amazing man and friend. Still miss you you, my friend.

Kelsey,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just came across this news tonight and I am shocked and feel so bad for you. Your dad and I had much in common and I really enjoyed our conversations which always touched on so many interesting topics (especially the music of Springsteen.) The last time I saw the two of you was at the concert at The TD Garden in Boston and it was obvious your dad was very proud to be there with you and your brother. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Our last time together
To the entire Downes family, I am still in shock and send my deepest condolences to you all. If I could write a book about all the times Tom & I shared together, it would be the size of a dictionary. Bro, I will remember & cherish every day we hung out - from walking to the Honda motorcycle shop on Adams St. to your basketball games at East Catholic to every rock concert we went to and all points in between. My best friend growing up, you will be missed dearly. RIP brother...
