I once heard a quote that says, "There are many good people in the world. If you can't find one, be one." I believe Tom lived by that motto. Tom was a man who went out of his way to be good to people. My son was Tom's client in a court case that could've had a different outcome but Tom did everything in his power to fight for a fair decision. My family and I will always remember Tom and his family is in our prayers.

My family and I will always remember Tom and will forever be indebted to him because of all that he did for our son. He represented our son in a court case and we truly believe that without God's help and Tom's skill as an excellent attorney, our son would've been labeled something he wasn't and would've served a lot more time than he did. We will always believe that Tom was put in our son's path by God and that nothing that happened was a coincidence. Our only regret is that we were not able to thank Tom in person.

Our family owes such a debt to Tom. He defended our son in a court case and because of his dedication and commitment, our son's sentence was much less than what the prosecuting attorney wanted to impose. Tom will always hold a special place in our hearts and memory.

I think of Tom often and I pray for his family as often as they come to my mind. I will always be indebted to Tom for defending my son in court. I always believed Tom was a Godsend and that is was not a coincidence that our paths crossed.

Tom was an exceptional attorney and a kind-hearted human being. He was my son's attorney who went above and beyond his job to defend him and secure the best possible outcome at his trial. My family will always remember Tom and we will always be indebted to him. We pray for his family often.

My son was imprisoned in Connecticut although he was from California. Tom was his attorney and when my son's release time came, my husband and I sent Tom the funds and he made all the necessary arrangements to procure a plane ticket. On the day my son was released from prison, Tom drove him to the airport and made sure he was on a plane home. Tom was not obligated to do any of the extra things he did for our son, but he did them because that was the kind of person he was. We will never forget Tom, and his family will always be remembered in our prayers.

Dear Diana,
I just learned of Tommy's passing. I was reading the Quinnipiac Magazine and saw his name listed under classmates who passed away during 2018.
Tommy and I were good friends and fraternity brothers during our years at Quinnipiac.
I am so sorry for your loss.

I knew Tom from the JCC & from his reputation of being a person with impeccable ethical standards personally & professionally. Recently I did some volunteer work with him & got to know about the pride & love he had for his family, & how he enjoyed music & theater. Tom will be dearly missed, but he leaves behind an outstanding legacy.

Dearest Diana,
My heart breaks for you. Hearing you talk about Tommy, I knew he was a very special man, as did all of New Haven. I hope to see you, Sunday, but, if not, I know you will need the love and support of old friends. I'll be around later when you might need me. Much love, Susan Blanchard
