Thomas was a wonderful, kind and generous person who loved life people and children. I first met Thomas though a friend that worked with him at the Stewart's Plant. The rest was history after that.

I worked with Tommy for 10 years and he was a great friend. We always went to lunch together. I will remember the times when we would get together and have a day full of poker and fun. He will be missed greatly.

Tom was such a jokester. He was a fun lovin guy. Back in our high school days Tom & his two sidekicks Dick & Eric showed up at my door. He was dressed in a Santa suit & proceeded to come in & my parents took pictures of us. They got a big kick out of all his antics. R.I.P. my dear friend.
