Hey Mots, you were the best of us, keep on rocking.

I met Tom on the little league field at the Rhinebeck Central School, around 1962. Being new to Rhinebeck, from Long Island, he was the first guy who came up to me and made me feel welcomed. I guess you could say he was my first friend in Rhinebeck. We attended St. Christopher's Catholic school together in Red Hook, part of the first graduating class. Once we came back to Rhinebeck Central, we were in Subterranean Circus together, Tom on keyboards and me on drums. We lost touch after we graduated, but every few years we would touch base and catch up. Whenever we would talk, even if it was after several years, it was always like we'd been in touch all along. We would just kind of pick up where we left off. Tom was so easy to talk to. He was a kind soul, and a loyal friend. I will miss him.
