Tom was a kind-hearted, supportive man. He was always a pleasure to be around and he will be sorely missed. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. I am sure my parents welcomed him home. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Tommy, I am sure God has a special place up there for you. Thank you for all of the good years you gave to (my sister) Mary. I will always love you for it!

When you see Ed you can tell him "Semper Fi" and if you don't mind give him a big hug for me.

Now rest my dear friend.
