Tom was one of the nicest guys I had the privilege of knowing, we played a lot of ball together in the old projects. My prayers go out to his family. I'm sorry I can't attend the wake or his funeral, I have health problems. I worked with his Dad on the furnaces and he was very proud of his son.

My thoughts and prayers for your family. The thought of Tommy brings warm memories and happy times. He was a funny guy as well as a caring and sensitive person. He had a relationship with our God and made sure that Sunday’s were reserved for him. You will be missed.
