It was never hi Tommy when I visited my cousins but Semper Fi. Semper fi he would always say. Tommy was so proud to be a Marine we always had that in common. Tommy had a big heart , he would do things for people and you would never hear about it from him. I don't think he ever mentioned to his family what he did for my son Zachary. When I mentioned that Zachary wanted to go to Berklee college of music but needed a cosigner to get the loan he needed Tommy was there for Zachary. He offered to cosign the loan and Zack was able to fulfill his dream of going to Berklee. When I told zack what Tommy had done for him the smile from Zack melted my heart. That was Tommy in a nutshell a tough old Marine with a heart of gold. Im gonna miss him big time. All our love from the Hogan family to our cousins the Lydons. Semper fi Tom see you upstairs when it's my turn to check in..
