I loved Tommy way back in high school when we were in the band together. We had a lot of fun times, good memories. The last day I spent with him, he drove us down to Erie Avenue to register for the draft in 1970! I had hoped to stay in his life for a long time but our paths diverged. However, I will never forget his smile and the way I used to enjoy making him laugh. I knew some of his brothers and sisters and my heart goes out to them for their loss. Kevin

Tom you were one of the best friends I ever had. We did so many things together from growing up into our twenties. We always had fun and looked out for each other. When I think back it always brings a smile to my face. Rest in peace my friend and buddy. TJ

To my cousin Tommy, I want to thank you for being such a positive influence on my childhood. Late spring time was spent in anticipation of your family‘s arrival for the summer. You always felt like a big brother to me and someone that I should emulate. I have so many fantastic and loving memories that you are a part of. I wonder in heaven does anyone holler out “ PLAY BALL” I know now, you are standing straight and tall , And I am so happy for you. Please give a hug to our family members there for me. I love you.
