I remember back in 1979 Tommy, myself and some other friends spent camping for a few days in Lake George, New York. It is in the beautiful picturesque Adirondack region of mountains in upstate New York. We all had a wonderful time. I was only 19 at the time but we had an amazing time . Tommy was always a very kind and sweet person who had a passion for cars and rescue dogs. I met Tommy when I was sixteen years old in high school. We remained friends for the past 40 years. Rest in peace my friend with all the classic cars in the sky. My husband Tom and myself send our sincere, heartfelt condolences to his wife Helena, whom Tommy loved dearly. Also to his siblings, Richie, Mickey, Susie and Chuck. We are more sorry than we can express. Sending sincere prayers and healing to the entire Yaeger Family.

Much Love,
Barb and Tom Massabrook
Hamilton, New Jersey
