I had the honor and privilege of knowing Tom in NJ when I got to work with Mary (my twin) I remember 9/11 when Tom walked in our office covered in white dust we all cried with happiness to see him and he reached across the doctors office counter and grabbed Mary and they held each other thankful that God saved him and they still had each other. It was the defining moment for me of that awful day and the love that they do obviously shared. I recently was lucky enough to spend an hour talking to Tom about that and many other blessings in his life. He spoke if Mary with pride at her getting her CNAII and the love he had for her and his family was absolute. He will always be in my heart along with Mary and family(my son is a Marine too) so I feel especially close to this wonderful family. God Bless all and give you courage and strength to help you through this. We love you. Miss you Tom. Always. The Bartkos

Mary,
My sincere condolences to you and the family. I enjoyed working with Tom very much at "the store". He was a great guy to be around. And I loved that accent. Peace be with you.
