Tommy,
From the days of the deli until I became a man we have always been close. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you at the end. I will always regret that. You were always a friend and there for me when times where tough. I'll miss you and love you always until the day we meet again.
I love you,
Timmy

Tomko,
You were one of the most influential people in my life and guided me through some tough times with your counsel. You were a confidant and friend that unfortunately I didn't get to spend enough time with - hence another new lesson learned... appreciate your friends and family now before it is too late... A man with a penchant for the ponies, cross-stich, Acadian music, Atlantic City, and Franks Steak Sandwiches with sauce and fried Onions; a man who always helped the less fortunate as Jesus would have done. A great son, uncle and brother - a man who loved his family and his Hungarian heritage. I will miss you sorely and pray that the Angels will keep watch on you Tommy. My buddy, my friend... Your, Steewee

It has been a long time since we seen each other, but I have remained a friend. This is a sad day because he left us to soon.
My condolances to all. He will always be remembered as Father Tom to me.

My sympathy goes out to Tom's whole family,especially his mother who had to lose her son. A mother should not outlive her own kids. Margaret I love you and I'm so sorry. Tom was a good friend of mine. Whom I have worked for in the past. We had some rough times working during tax season, but when the day was over we would go upstairs eat dinner,watch jeapordy and fall asleep.Oh, how he loved his jeapordy.Tom you should of been the one on that show.You have done so much for me, I love you,Mr. you know you will always be in my heart and I am so sorry I was not there before you parted this world. That I would NEVER forgive myself for.I'm sorry.I just pray that you are not suffering anymore. You are in my thoughts and prayers,Mr. and, I love you always....
Your, Mrs.

To my cousin Tommy....although I'm the youngest of the cousins, I'll never forget our early childhood years. I was the most smitten around you and as a child loved being with you. As your suffering has ended and you approach those pearly gates and see all your loved ones waiting for you, would you please, please tell my dear dad how very much I miss him. Love, Kathy
