We are saddened to hear of Tom's (Tiger's) passing.

Rich and I have fond memories of Tom and his family. Our Lady of Mercy was a great meeting place for so many people. The Abrahamsen family only brings back fond memories of those days.

Condolences to you Julie, Matt and Mike Abrahamsen.

Matt and Mike, Your dad was the best! Growing up next door to you guys in Westlake was something I will never forget. Our fathers generation was an awesome group and we were lucky to have them! May he Rest In Peace...

Julie, Matt, and Mike, your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Tom was a good man, always welcoming, and took the time to show us some baseball drills (OLM days). Will never forget his many haunted houses on Halloween and him showing us the blueprints of the Monterey Bay Aquarium while it was being built. May he Rest In Peace.
