I remember meeting Tom in high school and I thought his name was Louis Pesci, who is another good guy in his own right. But AnyWho, we became really good friends going to the gym to work out and going to parties to have a good time and unwind. I remember his father getting us out of some jams here, and there, which I was very thankful for. I was with him when we totaled his 72 Ranchero. God was definitely looking over us that night. He also had a contagious smile. I will miss you brother rest in peace.

We met when we were little kids, I remember you having asthma missing a lot of school, but when you came out, I was there to play with you. I remember our times playing in Greenlawn cemetery, riding bikes, skateboarding, catching frogs/turtles. I remember sticking up for you when you made someone mad, lol. I remember all of our friends we met as we got older, some pretty crazy, you guys know who you are! Will always be friends with them, because they knew we were worth it! I remember your brothers and sister, walking in each other´s homes without thought. You were one of the brothers I never had. See you on the other side Tom, no worries!

Dear Tom, my memory of you will be when you would show up to my house with pitchers of margaritas. The quote life is too short to hold grudges is true for me and you. My kids and I have so many memories, 20+ years of them. We will be there for Kim and the boys. I pray for your soul and that you rest in peace. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of his saints.
