Tommy was one of only a few of my lifelong friends. He had a great sense of humor, he was a great cook, he was a great hockey player, and he was a great golfer. Tommy came to my wedding in Hawaii and we travelled together. He was a loyal and significant friend, more like a brother. He will be greatly missed. I will try to honor his life and the dreams we had until we meet again.

It's been a couple of years since I've seen Tommy. His loss is a shock. When I saw Tommy he was the rare friend that time stood still when we were together. Tommy was one of the most loyal friends I have ever had.I hope he knew how much Doug and I loved him and how special he was.Tommy's wit, humor, kindness and sensitivity to others will be
missed profoundly. My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved
Tommy. Rest in peace Tommy.

In the short time that I knew Tom he was like an older brother to me. I will always have nothing but good memories of the time we spent together and will carry Him in my heart with me wherever I go.

We just learned of Tommy's passing and want to express our sympathy to the family. Our family loved Tommy and have such wonderful memories of Tommy when we all were in Hawaii for our son's wedding. Tommy had such a kind heart and was a blessing to know. The Vaselakos Family

Tom was a roommate of my son's at New Hope. He was kind and caring to Morrison when he needed it most. Tom was at my house several times and always very polite and nice. He will be missed terribly.

Such sad news. Still remember Danny carrying Tommy on his shoulders on the way back from dinner on St. Pete beach in 1976 or so. So very sorry.
