My condolences to the Meehan family. I met Tom with my two cousins and my daughter when he very graciously took us to the play Annie. We had lunch and then went to the matinee. Toms grandfather and my grandmother were brother and sister making us second cousins. He had a great talent and will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

No one was more generous in spirit, more giving of encouragement and inspiration than Tom. If there is really a Heaven, Tom will be working the doors, opening them for those who are not quite sure enough of themselves.
