I just found out today about Tom´s passing. I live in New York. I met Tom through EBay. We shared a hobby of collecting Mini football helmets. I surprised him one day and gifted him a very special custom I had made. I will never forget how happy it made him. I would check on him every now and then via text and we would talk about our families and a little bit of football too. My condolences to his family especially his wife Lori
and two daughters. May he Rest In Peace.
