RIP my friend your legacy remains in my thoughts. I will always remember teasing you into taking Jack to the Clemson football games.
Mostly I will think about your thoughtfulness and sly sense of humor.
GO TIGERS!

Riordan Family,

Tom and I were teammates on the 1956-57 Montclair High basketball team, so we are longtime friends.

I was saddened to learn of his passing, but his illness explained to me why he did not return a telephone call I made to him earlier this fall.

I live in Maine, so I cannot guarantee that I will be in NJ for a celebration of Tom's life, but I would like to know when that is happening, so that I can consider attending it.

Tom Riordan -- may he rest in peace.
