In loving memory of a wonderful person. I knew Tom from working at Mersman Tables with him. I got to know his two best friends Brother Steve and Brother Nick at Saint Charles. If you wanted to know the sports news in Saint Henry, just ask TOM ! He gave you all the details. Tom was always so friendly and happy to all he met. I got to see Tom several times while he was my dad's (Dennis Diller) roommate at the Gardens. Our prayers go out to Tom's family. We were all lucky to have him as a wonderful friend.
