Tom and I worked together on a summer ('67 Miracle Sox) job in Springfield before I went away to Washington, DC for my 1st year in college. We were outdoors 8 hours a day 5 days a week. We worked hard & laughed even harder. We would talk cars, girls, music, he'd tell me what college would be like--but most of all it was Red Sox talk...Yaz, Tony C., and the rest. We even hung out Thursday nights in downtown Springfield--the stores were open late.
We ran into each other the following year and it was a good reunion. We didn't see one another again...but I'd often think of Tom and that special summer--getting to know a decent soul, who left me with some wonderful memories.
May the time & love that you shared with him sustain you in the days ahead.

I am grateful for the things he taught me, even when he wasn't necessarily trying. Mostly I'm grateful that he got to know his granddaughter and she got to know him before his disease took hold. He'd recognize her voice from fifty ft away and yell out with a huge smile on his face..
"There's my granddaughter Teally!" as soon as we'd round the corner.

Sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Met Tom in high school and although we didn't see much of each other over the years it was always a pleasure to run into Him at various restaurants and listen to His witty take on current events. A true gentleman with a great wit.He will be missed.
