For some reason I just saw this today, I remember Tommy as I called him we lived in Astoria together when we were kids, I also dated him when I was well maybe 17 or 18. I remember my dad really liking him and everyone always commented on his beautiful blue eyes. He had an interesting life and seemed to do very well, so happy for him, my condolences to the family, even at this late date.
