Tom was a wonderful man. He with his Hillcrest buddies Monk, Dan and Gibby made my Saturday afternoons at Reardon's. I would look forward to seeing them and listen to their stories and listen to them bust each other playing cards. They were great friends and great men. I consider myself lucky to have known Tom and the gang. GO CUSE !!! God speed Tom.

May you rest in peace Tom as you join your dear sister Anne, and older brother Gilmore in the hereafter. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to have known you and Anne over these past 25 years. I only wish we had more time and memories to share. I hope to always live my life in a manner that not only Gilmore Terry would be proud of. It is my humble tribute to the privilege of being named after Mack and Enda´s oldest son, who passed away from this life during WW2 at far too young an age. You live on in our hearts. With love, Gil

So very sorry to hear about Tom. He was a special "gentleman" who loved his Syracuse teams. We also enjoyed running into him at Saratoga and at Little Venice throughout the years
Our deepest sympathy.
