Just came across this page, and seeing Tommy's face brings back so many wonderful memories of him and Michael. Those two were thick and thieves and so funny together. Miss them both.

Tommy´s friendship, generosity, and bright spirit will be greatly missed by all that knew him. His impact on so many, and his selflessness will endure long after the sorrow of his loss.
Fly high my friend, and thank you for everything you did to help me in Austin. You only knew me a month before letting me stay at your place for a month, I will forever be grateful to you. Until we meet again.

I am so sorry for your loss. Am holding Tommy and his family and friends in my prayers. I met Tommy in Minneapolis through Patrice Relerford and he immediately made an impression on me. I so appreciated how much he and Patrice cared about each other. He is missed.

Tom, Winnie, Kelly, Maureen and family,
You are the strongest friends that we have. Tommy was a fantastic story teller of the "Irish Tradition!" A great trait that truly runs in your family.
We can't even begin to imagine the pain that you are suffering but know that our thoughts and prayers will always be with you.
