We met quite a few occassions and on all of them he made me feel very, very welcome to America. A dear friend to my brother, and a man who will be remembered forever in the highest of esteem. Even in the height of his ilness, he still had a smile and a story that made me feel right at home in Burkes bar.... May God go with you Tommy, Ar dheis de go raibh a hAnaim.
