Tom always represented the best of Brighton (and his home, Oak Square). An irreplaceable loss to our community and the many he so joyfully served for many years along Commonwealth Ave. So many of us still miss him....my best to his wonderful family...

All of us who had the good fortune to cross paths with Tom through his many years on the Green Line will never forget him. His daily kindnesses extended to all those around him enabled us to more appreciate our own days and contributions to one another.
To Jean, Tom Jr., Jeanne-Marie and family: May your memories of Tom sustain you through these most difficult of times...

"The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love."

Auntie Jeannie-Nothing I can say seems like enough! Uncle Tommy was always so cheery and even with a long time in between visits, he always made me feel that he was genuinely glad to see all of us. He loved talking about family and telling stories-he was a great story teller. The only small peace I have is knowing that he's with my mom and that they are our angels now! My love to everyone there and please keep in touch! Love, Diane

Da,
what can i really say ?
I can't really believe that this happened.It all feels like a dream, and I'll wake up in the morning and you'll be there drinking your coffee like any other day. You we're an amazing person ! You could always put a smile on someones face no matter the situation. I am one lucky girl to have known you , and to have been able to say that you we're my grandfather. I love you and will miss you. You'll always be in our hearts.
Wait for us up there.
Love always and forever,
M-Ash

To the Woods Family,
I remember the day this skinny little kid came on the job, with that great big smile. What a wonderful man and friend he grew to be. He was a true Reservoir Man, and will be missed by everyone.

Jean, I am so sorry to hear about your husband, Tommy. I have worked with him for years and he was a true gentleman. Of course it is much too early for him to have passed on. His co-workers will miss him, his passengers will miss him-such a cheerful, considerate man. God comfort you. Sincerely, Pamela Knight
