My deepest sympathy to all of Tom's family. I would occasionally get to chat with him when he would call moms house looking for John, usually during a holiday. It was always fun to relive a memory or two with such good friends. He will be missed!

My heartfelt condolences to his family in Dominican Republic and elsewhere. I had a lot of laughs with Tom over the years. Didn´t get a chance to bet on the Super Bowl with him. We did talk about it. I´m going to miss him.
