I was so saddened to read about Tommy. He was such a special man. I still remember his laugh and how everyone in the audience would have to laugh along with him. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Tom at Rental Uniform for several years, and also, played bingo together. He will be sadly missed. Tom was a very friendly and lovable person.
