Tom was good friends with my husband, Tom Ryan, who died 5 years ago of acute leukemia. They were big Sci Fi and Star trek lovers . He was in our wedding in 1980. Prayers for all the family. Died too soon.

I am very sad to hear of Tom's passing. He was an awesome cousin and I have many memories with Tom in our younger years. Condolences to his family.
