Dear Mary, Rita, Christine, Tom, Brian and Marge-
We just returned to Chicago from the funeral in Philly - what a fitting send-off for such a wonderful man. Tom's ability to see through any situation, to care and to love, are the things we hold on to now and into the future. I pray for a portion of his spirit. I love you all~

Tommy and I grew up together in the old Corpus Christi Parish. Our houses were no more than 50 feet apart. I was so sorry to hear of his death. My sympathy goes out to his whole family.

I have known and worked with Tom for about 12 years on several telecom projects. During this time I grew such respect and admiration for him. He was caring, understanding and one of the most ethical persons I have had the pleasure to have worked with. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He will be missed by more people that you can imagine. He has touched so many hearts. God bless you all.
