Tom coached me in soccer at Toonawanda High School and for a shy timid kid with little talent he made things fun for me. As an adult working with our Alumni, he was a straight shooter and always wanted what was best for our youth of all talents and backgrounds.

We had the pleasure of knowing Tom and Marty when we lived on Homestead Drive. They were wonderful people who we will never forget. Tom and Marty were warm, funny, generous and kind people and we know Tom will happily go to Heaven to be with his beloved Marty as long as Heaven has a golf course!
