Tom was a wonderful man with a good heart. He will be missed and he left this world too young.

I am so sorry that I was unable to see Tommy before he passed but he was in my thoughts. Perhaps it is best that I remember him as he was the last time I saw him -- young and handsome and healthy. I am so sorry for your loss as I know all too well how difficult it is to lose a brother.

I know he had one of the times of his life when we went to law school in Rome for the summer of 1983. We met wonderful people, traveled, ate oh so well..and oh yes we took classes and exams too. Tom was a great law school buddy and friend. I wish that he could have enjoyed life more!!!!! my thoughts and sympathy are with his family and other friends. He will be sorely missed!!!!
