Dear Nancy, Thomas and Elizabeth:
What an amazing person Tom was and what a remarkable life he lived. He made a difference in so many life´s. You must be most proud of the legacy he has left for his family. Who can ever forget that smile and that laugh! We are so grateful to have known him.

Nancy, Thomas and Lizzy, I am so incredibly sad for you; and for myself. Tom is one of my favorite people in the world and I thought I would see him again. I will never forget how much fun we had bartending together at the Beachcomber. A group of bikers came in one day, and one guy had a prosthetic leg covered by a cowboy boot. He took the whole thing off and asked me if I´d fill it with draft beer. I was pretty freaked out so I asked Tom what I should do. He said he´d handle it, and I watched him take the guy´s leg/boot and fill it up with beer! So many funny things!! He was also so thoughtful and kind. He made the effort to come and show support when my son Louie died, and has so generously donated to our Live For Lou Fund. There are so many things I could say and I´m so sorry I wasn´t able to be with you today. I´m holding all of you in my heart and sending so much love. Rest In Peace, Tom. I will never forget you.

The last time I saw Tom was when if you wanted to call someone you opened the kitchen window and yelled out. However, we did have many adventures together back in the day. I remember that at parties or social gatherings one would only have to follow the laughter to find Tom. On one of his Trips to Ireland I have a feeling that not only did Tom kiss the Blarney Stone but took a big bite out of it. Tom was surely a people person. From prince to pauper he moved effortlessly with people from all walks of life.
His work for Disability Services sets an example for all to look after our less fortunate sisters and brothers.
I am sad to hear about Tom´s death. I hope in time his memory and spirit will bring comfort and peace to his family and his many friends.

What a shock to me...I had no idea.
I have only the fondest memories of Tom...and Nancy and Thomas. I also enjoyed Tom's humor and post game critiques. His infectious smile and hearty laugh could fill a room. My deepest sympathy to the family. He will be missed.

So Tom, you decided to embark suddenly on your last journey, leaving us behind in grief.
A grief that can only be softened by the sweet memories that you helped create. No doubt Tom you will be missed! Missed especially by those who love you as you are leaving behind a gap difficult to be filled.
Our daughter always felt the love at the Cassidy´s home. Tom had a kind word for everyone, young and old, he was happy to share a nice story with friends, and he was always ready to celebrate life. His cheerful energy, his "joie de vivre" made him the one and only Tom.
Requiescat in Pace (R. I. P.)
We will always love you!

Tom rescued me after the ladder I was painting from slipped out and I fell to the floor while we were setting up for Dancing in the woods. Tom certainly knew how to lighten up a moment that slightly bruised my shins and my ego ! He was situated right around the corner and just out of sight and quickly commented " I´ve heard that sound before, are you OK ?" We laughed and continued on.RIP Tom My condolences to Nancy and the entire family.

Oh no. Nancy, Tom, LIZZY, Jill, Mike, Maureen. Like everyone, I am so shocked and saddened by Tom´s sudden and untimely passing. I knew him mainly thru his sister Jill. What a hero he has been to her during her health situation. He stepped right up and supported her selflessly. He will be unbelievably missed by his family and all the people he has touched throughout his life. My sincerest sympathies to all his family.

Could not believe when I heard about Tom leaving us. He was always bigger than life, with that Irish face and smile. So many memories flooded over me as I read about all of your past adventures.
We have been friends for 50 years, and I will miss you forever.
