So sorry to learn of Tom's death. Went to Shenandoah Catholic High School with him. He had such a great personality - always friendly. Lost track of him after graduation but am so happy that he had such a wonderful family and such a good life. My condolences to all his family.

I am saddened to read that Tommy died. He and I were alter boys, football players and very good friends. We went through all 12 grades of school together. I went into the Navy a month after him and we shared many crazy moments while in boot camp. We lost track of one another but I thought about him many times. I shall pray for his soul and grieve with your family at this great loss.
