I remember seeing Tom as a teenager at Pat Holden's Liquor always busy working for his dad. I used to work for the phone company on 9th Street and would cash my paychecks there. He was always so nice and polite with a smile on his face. May you rest in peace in our Lord's embrace, Tom. My most sincere condolences to the family.

We were blessed by building our relationship in Santa Clara Elementary and continued through the "Silver Years"by ensuring we got together annually (at a minimum).
We called the group Boys Will Be Boys and always looked forward to getting together.
He was the "Leader" of the group (although we never officially told him that (is that a guy thing?)
We miss you our Leader and you will always be with us.
Love you our friend.
Joe

As family it is your gift to keep his memories and accomplishments alive. You knew him better than anyone. Every story you tell extends his impact and legacy. As his children you carry him literally in your genes. Stand together now in this time when you need each other. He is at peace.
