Not sure what to say?

Tommy G was one of my biggest influences growing up. He taught us the importance of working hard every time we are out on the field AND winning. He definitely set our whole team up to be successful on the field and in life. He was also incredibly loyal, even if it had been a while since we had talked. When I talked to him after leaving UVA, he reached out to his contacts to make sure I had a spot at WM without hesitation. My favorite memory is whenever girls would come up in conversation...

I will forever be grateful for meeting Thomas and our time together at UNO. He took me under his wing and the experiences we had were second to none. Unfortunately we lost touch, but he was always in my thoughts, he influenced my life that much. He was the best of the best.

Our heartfelt sympathy Bonnie, your boys, and the Graziano Family. We are so saddened to hear of Tommy´s passing. Please know our memories of him are all special ones and he will hold a very special place in our hearts. Wishing you peace in all your good memories of him. With Love, Barbara and Jim Rice xoxo

Tom Graz - I´m shocked to hear this news! Sending condolences and love to your family. Have a lot of great memories going back to you crashing in my dorm room at Univ of Tampa so you could be closer to baseball practice. Doing work for you whenever you built a new restaurant, etc. Always enjoyed our interactions. Love you brother!!

Tom, Thank you for being a great coach, mentor, and friend. I have so many great memories and life lessons learned from playing baseball for you in Basking Ridge. Rest in peace. EJ DaCosta

So sorry for your loss, I remember playing softball with Tommy in Springfield, what a great athlete and person. Rest in Peace

Thank you Tom for all the baseball memories! It was fun coaching with you and watching you teach our sons valuable baseball and life lessons as they grew from little boys to young men. Rest in peace Tom.

Tommy, you always left me with a good feeling whenever I communicated or saw you. You were a good man! My condolences to your family, friends, and staff. You will be missed, but your memory and laugh will continue to live on with me every day for the rest of my life. I will focus on my good fortune to have met you. Thank you, Steve Nussbaum
