Sue, my heart is broken for you and Danny. You know how much I loved Tom. He had the greatest sense of humor and that deep voice will never be forgotten. Tom was one of the greatest! He will be greatly missed. Danny, please know that your Dad was so proud of you. He will continue to guide you and watch over you.

So sad to hear of Tom's passing. I was lucky enough to see Tom, Cathy and Sue a couple years ago. Tom called after 40 years to say hello. I was able to visit him in Plymouth for lunch and talk memories of our younger years together. Feeling sad we didn't get together a few more times. My deepest sympathy to each of you.

Sue,Dan,Kathy,John and family,
Our deepest sympathies. Your husband, father, brother was a great person and true friend. We've had some great memories, great times in high school and beyond. He introduced Paul to Boston and especially to Harvard Square where we had some fun times in our younger days. We'll always remember our cross country trip together, our trips to the North Shore and Crane's Beach, his "basketball expertise", and his infectious laugh. We'll miss our friend Tom. Celine and Paul Mani
