I regret that I just found out that Tommy is gone now. I knew Tommy only in grade school at St. Mary's. As a kid , he was the kind of guy you wished you could be like. Always in the moment, and always kind and fair. Rest in peace Tommy. You will be remembered, for the rest of my life, as one of the good guys. -Steve

Tommy is, and has always been, a part of my family my entire life. He will forever be my brother-in-law and dad to my nephews Sean and Luke. He will be missed beyond belief, but will never be forgotten.

"My deepest condolences to Thomas's family. I only had the honor of knowing Thomas for about one year. During that time, I respected his integrity and love of family and friends. He was loved by many and his absence will leave an emptiness in many hearts. I pray for comfort and peace during this time and for the weeks and months ahead.

Deeply saddened by this. A great friend to my family, neighbor and owner. It was truly wonderful watching Hondo pursue his passion in the restaurant industry and following his dream. I watched how deeply he cared about his family and friends. My heart goes out to all of his loved ones. I will miss seeing your smiling face.

I will truly miss Tommy. He brought life and great food to the Sunset Grill, of which Laura and I enjoyed every time we went there. He always said hi and seemed to care about the customers enjoying their experience. I wish to express our sympathy to the family and those who worked with him every day.

I was so saddened upon learning of Hondo's passing. I had the pleasure of working for Hondo at Enzo's, and he was one of the nicest and easy-going bosses I've ever had. He was also my friend. He didn't say much, but when he did, it was usually something funny. One thing is for sure...he loved his sons to the moon and back, and he loved his work. May you RIP Hondo. Thank you for being such a great guy...you'll be sorely missed by many.

I did not know Tommy well, although we had several mutual friends. I remember him and his family from St. Mary's when I was growing up. They were always there. I thought of him as a kindred spirit, from what others told me about him.
