Sweet generous Tommy was my boyfriend from `98 to `04. He was quite an emotional help for me esp. when my son left for the Army. Always lots of fun and full of unique experiences! So many fond memories for sure! We will all look forward to having fun with him again in Heaven.

Sad to hear this about Tommy. Great friend, coworker for many years. Worked with him at Morris-Shea for nearly 20 years. Always smiling, while crunching on roasted peanuts.
Praying for his family during this difficult time. Rest easy Tommy.
