I met Tom in 2019 . I had just got my condo and was renting a room and he responded to the add on Craigslist. I liked his unique personality and sense of style with the flames on his sneakers when I met him and had a good feeling about him. When Tom moved in he helped me tremendously get my place setup and I always will be grateful and remember him for that.

We both used to like to indulge in are nightly cocktails and listen to music during that time .

He definitely knew alot about music,Star Wars, Home repairs and alot of other interesting stuff.

Tom used to like to refer to himself as a " Techie" .

He wasn't afraid to google bust you on stuff and tell you that your facts were wrong ,so we would have our debates at times during our cocktail hours ,Lol!

Tom always talked to me about his love for his family ,and his pets. Especially his dog "Rolo" ,I believe that was his name.

I wish we kept in touch after he had moved back to his home in Enfield,but that's how life works.

Our lives here on earth our to short and we don't realize it until someone is gone.

My deepest condolences to his family and I will always remember Tom for his help and kindness when he lived with me.
