Tommy came home with me the day. I was born with my uncle Billy and my mom and Debbie. I´ve known him all my life. He was a good man and Always thought of him as family. It breaks my heart to just now know about this. I´m so sorry I didn´t get to say goodbye. You definitely had a unique voice and always made me laugh. I hope you rest and easy until we meet again, rest in peace.

I met Tom at the Keg years ago. I stopped going for karaoke and haven't seen him in years. I ran into him at 501 on Christmas and it was like we never skipped a beat. Then I saw him just the other day in passing. He hugged me like always. I am truly going to miss him.

Tommy was an amazing man. I always looked forward to seeing him on the other side of the pine when I'd come to work. I'm forever grateful for all of his "fatherly advice" and shared wisdom, and the several A+ interviews he had given me to help me get through my society and aging class. I loved this man like a father, and am deeply saddened by his passing. RIP Tommy!
