I've always enjoyed the company of Mr. Tom. As the family's patriarch, He embodied a remarkable devotion to his faith and was a beacon of wisdom and kindness as a grandfather to my girlfriend and to the rest of her family. Engaging in conversations about history, current affairs, and sports with him was always enlightening and enjoyable for me, and delving into his cherished photo albums, recounting his journeys and life experiences, created unforgettable memories. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Tom's family during this difficult period. May his soul find eternal peace.

Tommy and Eileen were dear friends for over 65 years. We had many Friday nights playing Pinochle. In 1988 when I lost my husband Tommy traveled to WV to make sure that he kept a dying wish by my husband to see that I was okay. In a lifetime we have very few friends. Tommy was one of those rare friends. I will never forget his kindness!
