Tommy was my favorite cousin. He was eight years older than me, and I always looked up to him. We called him "Smooth". Tom drove the best cars, from an Electra 225, AKA "A Deuce and a Quarter", to Lincolns, and Corvettes. We shared a lot of great times, especially at White Sox / Yankee games at Comiskey Park. I miss him greatly.
