I am so sorry to hear the passing of a childhood friend. We lived across the st on Louise Rd. for years. Jim/ Tom & Mike were my best friends for along time. I will miss him when I spend my 2 weeks every summer in Holbrook at Dunkin Donuts in the morning. We always talked about the old days which were the best days. I hope Tom will be at peace. He was a real friend.God bless him.
