Judy & girls, just heard about Tommy getting his angel wings & am so sorry for your loss. I´m sure he & Bob are retelling stories and laughing so hard
Tommy was certainly a fun guy to have around, my kids have such fond memories of him as "scout master" leading fathers from L29 up Blue Hills during Xmas week, having a cookout and sledding on a cold, snowy night. They came home dirty, sopping wet and delightfully happy My condolences to you all, may the good memories overcome the sadness of his passing.

Tommy & Judy would visit my sister & brother in law Patsy & John Banik in Onset.
He was such a nice guy..I loved his story about his big lottery win. He & Judy together would make us all laugh.
It has been a few years since I had seen them in Onset.
Rest in Peace Tommy!
My condolences to Judy & family.

My sincerest condolences on Tom´s passing. To say he was a great guy doesn´t begin to describe him. I had the privilege of knowing him for 40 plus years in and out of work. To you Judy and the girls may God be with you all in this difficult time.

Just after the 9/11/2001 atrocity, Tom and I had a CONVERSATION ABOUT MY LIKELY RETIREMENT, after serving for 32-years in the BFD. Most of my years on the job were assigned to E.52, L-29 and District 8. Tom gave me excellent guidance on the retirement rules, etc. May his soul be resting in the Peace of Christ, Eternal....
