So sorry for your, (all of our) loss, Tom was a great guy, truly a wonderful people person who loved doing everything and seemingly always with a smile. He'll be missed.

Uncle Six Pack, I still can't believe you're gone. I expected you to stand up in the middle of all the somberness and shout that you had fooled us all. But, it didn't happen. It's real. And I don't know what else to say other than I just cannot believe it. I know that for people like Brian, Jimmy, Johnny Ho, Kevin, Tim, Robert and myself (and anyone else I may have forgotten), we always took great pride in having you refer to each of us as the sons you never had. Looking back, we could be thankful for what you did in helping us with our cars, or taking us golfing, getting us tickets, but none of that really speaks wholeheartedly about the kind of man you were. You really were what we all should aspire to be. Others coming first, ourselves second. Thankfully, we all got to know you for various amounts of time. I think I speak for everyone when I say it wasn't nearly long enough. Goodbye and keep the lights on, we'll see you upstairs soon.

To Tom's family,

My most sincerest condolences are sent to you. Tom was my boss at Haggerty before I left for school. His booming laughter and his concern for everyone made him a great person and a honor to know. He looked out for everyone before and I'm positive he is doing the same right now.
