Tommy was my best friend growing up in Bridgeport. I remember the first time I met him. It was a touch football game we were playing in the street near where we lived. This bully we were playing against suddenly punched Tommy in the face. Tommy looked at him and said, "Is that your best shot?". I knew right then I wanted to be his friend. We were friends for 66 years. Even though I moved away, we kept in touch. Whenever I visited, we were inseparable. I will miss him and his wonderful heart always. I think of him often and he will be sorely missed.

Tom, you were a part of our family. You will always be a part of our family. Thank you for all you did for us and for fighting with grit and grace for us. Your hard work will never be forgotten. Your remarkable character will never be forgotten. You always treated us with respect and even after our case you still stayed in touch with us. Thank you, Tom. Rest in peace. You are deeply missed.

I was a high school friend of Tom. We just spoke last month. I greatly admired Tom who was a gifted lawyer and Kind friend to everyone he met. Tom coached my son in baseball and we never had a conversation where he did not inquire about David. Tom´s relationship with David so inspired my son that he too became a lawyer. Tom was a buddy of the first order. He was a dedicated professional and a loving father. I will miss our conversations and his gentle guidance. RIP my life long friend. John Martin

My deepest sympathy to the Weihing family. My father and Tom were friends for 30 years, from the time they worked at AVCO together until my father's passing in the late '90s. It was their friendship that caused Tom to become the attorney for the Greater Bridgeport Transit District, an agency that Tom maintained as a client for 25 years. Tom was always a known and respected figure in my family and his loss truly leaves a void for us. Please know that he is fondly remembered as a great attorney, but more so, as a great friend who was always willing to help when times were tough.
