Sincere condolences to Tommy's family and friends. I knew Tommy a long time ago while in college.He was always interesting and one of the smartest people I've ever known. I hope that he fulfilled his dreams and found peace in his life. My brother Sal, who was in his class at Admiral King and played football together, also extends his sympathies on your loss. Sincerely, Maria Barbatano Tayek
