We use to live behind Tom and Gloria when they lived on 59th place and we lived on 60th Street. we are the kids that use to shovel around the garages to make sure it was dry and safe for everyone to get into their garages. we loved when Gloria and her sisters had there garage sales we would always come home with some treasures. tom and Gloria were great neighbors and also great friends, we were sorry to hear about Gloria's passing and even sadder to hear about Tom's passing. we shared a lot of memories and that is how we will remember them both. RIP Tom go be with Gloria now.

Fr Thomas Nangle, CPD ret

January 16, 2018

I used to love asking him questions about the CPD in the 40's and 50's and could listen to his answers for hours. Tom and Gloria enriched the earth with their Tommy, who did the same with Vicki and now their kids are doing the same: the tradition continues.

Since Gloria died, Tom often spoke of looking forward to seeing her and their Tommy in God's presence once again and forever...such faith and hope and love and it sustained him for nine decades; now he knows their presence forever, in the company the only One who loves them all more than we do.

Be in His peace and presence now, good man.
