It is very sad to learn of Tom's passing. A good man, gone much too soon. My sincere condolences to his children and to Diane.

Tom reached out to me a few years back. A first cousin, I hadn't spoken to Tom since the family moved to Tempe. It was good to hear what a thoughtful man he had become. I wish my Aunt Ann, my cousin Theresa and his children strength during this very difficult period. Tom died far too young.

I never knew Tom by his name. I always called Vadi. He was like a second dad to me. I enjoyed all the nights we listened to music of his time and conversing about items from the distant past. I will miss him a lot. May he rest in peace
