To Tommy's family,
My cousin Richie married Mary, so I knew Tommy from the time he was a very young boy, and right up to when Richie died.
Tommy had been close with my parents, Uncle Jack and Auntie Pauline,
so after my Dad died, Tommy asked if he could have the bar my Dad had in their dining room. I gave it to him and he set it up in the basement of his
home at the time.
I have fond memories of Tommy from the good old days, when life was simpler and families stayed in touch.
My sincerest sympathy to Apollonia, Desiree,
and all of Tommy's family and friends.
Cousin Jacqueline
