Tom and I were close acquaintances through being parishioners at Christ church and then cursillo. He was always cheerful and upbeat whenever I saw him . He cherished being a deacon and serving others. I am really going to miss his presence

May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort and bless Tommy's family and his friends and classmates who knew him. I knew him as a friend and classmate in high school. Many will miss his friendship. May his wife and family be comforted in reading Psalm 34.
