I first met Fr. Tom when he was newly transferred to St, Barts in Penn Hills. He was the assistant, I was the head basketball and football coach. Just a very little time after he arrived, my boys team was playing for the Pa. state championship. We were winning by a small amount at half time, and I, as usual, was being a bit wild. He was in our locker room then and EVERY TIME I went on a little rant, I would look over at him. As we started out of the locker room to begin the second half, he came over, put his arm around me and asked why I kept looking at him every time I said something colorful. I told him I thought I was going to get fired any second. Well, we lost, and he came up to me after the game and said he thinks that I needed a beer. We became GREAT FRIENDS, and I followed him to EVERY PARISH he went to. We spoke only a short time before he passed, and I SOBBED when hearing of his passing. TOM had a HUGE IMPACT on my life, even to the point of celebrating the Rite of Marrying my youngest son, Dave, and his wife Erin at Duquesne's Chapel. I'm SURE, that,he is with the LORD, looking down and guiding and protecting his family, and his MANY FRIENDS. RIP, MY DEAREST FRIEND.
