T.R. was one of the "great ones". I always looked forward to working with, and learning from, Tom. He was a big part of many happy memories at old Station 4.

RIP ...TR..great memories working with you at Truck 4...a real gentleman and great firefighter!.

T.R., one of the most liked friend and firefighter to everyone he worked with. A very generous person who gave a lot of himself and things he owned. Everyday was a day of humor and pleasure when he worked with us at Old 4 Truck on Pacific Ave. He always had an infectious smile that I can still see today. Rest well my friend and co-worker.

Dearest First Cousin Tommy,

We are very saddened to hear of your passing. Although we lost touch in the last few years we have fond memories of you attending Rose's wedding and of the birthday dinner celebrations at the Gold Mirror in San Francisco and on "The Conde". You will remain forever in our hearts. Our sincere condolences to JoAnn and family. Happy sailing in heaven!

Love,
Rose Murphy-Giles and Anna Maria Black
(Your younger First Cousins from the Lupio family side)
