Tom was not only a friend but a great parts man knew everything there was to know about the automotive field concerning his job. He always helped me tremendously with whatever problem I had with used parts.Going back to the late 70's doing rebuildable vehicles he was always there. Having been out of the business for years now have not seen him much lately but I will miss him always.Rest in peace Tom! Rich Roy

Tom and I worked together for over 35 years, first at Murray's in Manchester, last at Car World in Candia. We had a ball over the years, playing cards, throwing horseshoes, even working. I'm going to miss him. Sending condolences to his family, and his friends who were like family.

Today I learned of the passing of Tom, I am very saddened by this news. I had known Tom for about 35 years. We were great friends as were most people that ever had the grace to meet him. Those of us that were very close to Tom knew him as Poonie, not sure why. I wish I could attend his funeral but sadly my wife is battling Lung Cancer but my heart will be so close to him and his family. I know that great goodness from Tom"s life will continue to move forward to his family and all his many friends.
I will sorely miss you my friend, until we meet again God Bless.
