Thomas you are greatly missed by me. I miss our long conversations we used to have when you came over to visit me. We would hang out in my garage and talk about your mason work and what a skill you had. We would always talk about our shoe collections because you loved Jordan shoes just like me. I will treasure the Jordan's you traded me for a pair of my Jordan's. They are now my favorite shoes in my collection Thomas I wish I could of had one more conversation with you before you left us but I do greatly miss you buddy and will always think about our good times. Rest In Peace Thomas!

Tom, where do I even begin? We had a history together, many good and also bad times. Through it all we stuck together, laughed and even cried. We parted ways yet you always remained in my heart and thoughts. You were loved by so many! You were one of the strongest people I know, inspiring, motivating, kind and loving. I will always remember all the great times we had, our trips, hanging with friends and family, endless time at gym, all our ventures, struggles and laughs. You had a smile that lit up a room! May God rest your beautiful soul, he got another angel. Thank you for all you did for me and the kindness you showed my family. Love you always my friend, till we meet again. All the love, prayers and condolences from my entire family and self.
