Thank you Uncle Tommy for so many great childhood memories. Whether it was family gatherings at Glezen St., Lake Ave., or Shrewsbury you always were a presence and very good at making us laugh. I simply treasure those times of playing horse shoes at Glezen St., listening to you talk to us about hunting, the big Italian dinners, and of course playing "MOTA". You will be dearly missed.

Auntie Kay, Danette, Tom, Bob, Michael, Lisa, Eric, Auntie Dottie, and all your families, I'm so sorry for your loss and ask that the God of all comfort feel near to you at this time.

I remember when Tom used to come in the Blue Belle Diner which my father ran. Tom was there every day talking with my dad about the old days. He was always a classy guy. God bless you my friend
