to the Tomczak family: my heart goes out to all family and friends. Tom will always be remembered as the architect behind many many good times, and good memories. When I think of the 1980's, I'll always think of Tom and TNT Rock. As Tom would say "rock & roll forever."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - what a crock of crap! Jill & Joe, I am so proud of all that you've done and handled in the past few years. Tom - your little sister misses you TONs! George Webbs will never be the same without your double cheeseburger and chili for breakfast. Please sing your heart out for the family you're with now. And hopefully you can prove the song "In Heaven there is no beer" wrong! Here's a Miller Lite toast to you! (I've added photos to the album)

Janice, time is the only real healer during this period of sorrow. Please take the time to not only mourn but also to cherish the memories and know one day you will see him again!

T-zaks:

I know that Tom is playing in that big rock 'n roll band in the sky with MaryAnn dancing on the dance floor just like they did 25 years ago at Paul and mine's first date.

In the immortal words of Roy Orbison . . .

I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow nigh, but wait
What do I see
Is she walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman.

Thanks, Tom.
