Theresa and family,
More than his many accomplishments in business and his competitive spirit at the poker table, I shall remember Tom as a man steeped in traditional values of family, sensitive to his Jewish roots, and notably generous to people he knew to be in need.

Tommy was so much fun just to be around. Never a bad word to say about anyone. He was always trying to help his friends and family. I played many hours of poker with Tommy and we had many great conversations about life. He was instramental in changing my life from the poker tables to going out in the busuness world and being succesful. I will always remember Tommy and that great smile he had at the poker table as he raked my money in. I speak for everyone in the poker world when I say---Tommy, you will be missed.

I have played poker with Tom since 1981.
He was a fierce competitor and a true gentleman at the table.
Likewise, in business he was a huge sucess. He certainly was a creative thinker.
We have always kept in touch, and I enjoyed hearing from him.
He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to his family

I started playing poker with Tom about 4 years ago and I've hardly met anyone with a better attitude. He always brought laughter and smiles to everyone's faces over and over. Tom is a big winner in life with his positive outlook, sense of humor, and compassion towards others. My condolences to the family.
