Joe, Sue, Joe , Jordan , So sorry to hear of your loss. May God Bless you at your time of need.

First met Tom, when we became classmates at Cardinal McCloskey
High School. Tom never changed. The classy guy we came
to know in high school remained that way through last week.

Wil miss seeing Tom drive his big cars through the Village
of Menands.
Tom driving down Broadway had become a Village tradition.

Prayer and condolences to this dear man's family.

Tom was a special person who's wit will never be forgotten. Whether it was his Dolly Parton Chicken Parm at the Purple Pub or just a call to brighten your day, his laughter was contagious. This man was loved by all who had the pleasure of sharing his friendship. I count myself as one of the many, having been blessed to know him and love him.

I speak for many when I reflect on our dearest friend Tommy. Many families have been blessed by Tom's friendship and love throughout the years. Not only did we have Tommy's love, we had his deep unconditional loyalty. I am assured that our friend is seated amongst the finest and honorable in Heaven. I Love you Tom, and again-- I speak for all when I say, thank you for the many years of happiness and devotion you have given to us, both unselfishly and unconditionally

Your memory will live within us throughout all eternity.

Joey and family,
We will all miss Tommy. In the last few years we often ran into him at the Purple Pub before he took sick. I remember all the times we were at your mom's or grandma's house celebrating different events. Since dad passed it seems we lost that connection. Maybe we can change that. Now he and Tom are with Aunt Anne and Uncle Freddie watching over us all.
