I met Tommy back in the late 1950's. I use to wave to him going by on the Holy Saviour School Bus, when I was walking home from Rittenhouse Jr. High. I graduated from Norristown High, Class of 1964 and when we had our class reunion 6 years ago, I got to see Tommy there. He was with a few other ladies and he peeked in the door, so I went up to him and said Hello. I would also see him at the Plymouth Meeting Mall once in a while. May he rest in peace.

I meet Tommy around 1965. He rode up to Sariva's Pool hall on a brown Honda 305 Scrambler. Later when Tommy worked for John Arena at Jefferson Motors he threw me the keys to anything I wanted to test drive.......he knew I was dreaming but he let me go anyway. Tommy influenced my decision to go into the car business. RIP Tommy.....Condolences to all his family.....
