Dear Dorothy and family,
I just found out today that Tommy had passed away. My deepest sympathies to you! He was a good, and decent man, and I am happy that our paths crossed, in life's journey.

I met Tommy in 1953 in Japan when we were both serving in the army . We became friends, and I last saw him when he came to Chicago for a fight. He and I, along with his manager, had a dinner. He invited me to the stadium for the fight.
Today I thought about him and decided to do an internet search, only to sadly learn of his passing. I'll fondly remember our time together in the 7th Cav.Regt. His excellent coaching of the boxing team.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Dorothy and Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences to the Salem family.
