I dont think Tommy realized how he touched people with his happy and sometimes goofy ways. I think of Tommy often,telling my chidren stories about the funny things he would do,like come down the basement steps and hit his head on the low cieling,and everytime I"d check to see if he was ok ,he"d be holding his head and then look up and laugh ,because it was really only his hand he would hit against it,he got me everytime with that one!!!Tommy was more then a cousin to me,he was a big part of the crazy teenage years of my life,always having a ear to listen,a joke to cheer me up,and a hug whenever I needed one.He was like a brother to me.He will be deeply missed,but always remembered as the one who gave me "Big Bucks and No Whammies"!!! I am sorry for your loss,and I could"nt be with you at this time,Tommy still and will always make me happy he has touched my life and heart with love!!!May he rest in peace and as Tommy would say "undercover"!!!!

Although we didn't see much of each other lately, Tommy and I were very close when he was staying with us. He was a happy-go-lucky guy that was always laughing and smiling. I will always have fond memories of the times we used to hang out at my mom's house and dance to zztop. Tommy never liked conflict or tension. He would always calm everyone down with his famous saying "C'mon now guys, break bread, break bread." I loved my big cousin a lot and I will miss not being able to get together at family functions. May he rest in peace.
