Read MoreRed and I were shipmates and sailed together the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans on the USS Sterret (CG-31) out of Subic Bay, Philippines.

There was no better SOX fan!

Unfortunately I was in Mexico when the service was held. Tommy was one of my closest friends growing up. Countless hours spent playing in Dawes Park. I remember Tommy being one of the best basketball players I ever saw. I remember him even shoveling snow off the courts to practice. He also had a great sense of humor. He could always make me laugh.
