"Hey Cuz" that's how Boz always greeted us cousins and with a big smile on his face too! I'll never forget that every time I saw Tom he always showed concern about the family and always asked how everyone was doing. He'd never forget what I said either because the next time I'd see him he'd want another report on what I had previously told him. Boz was a great person and will truly be missed by all of his cousins.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Tom. I enjoyed growing up with Tom and regret that I will not be able to grow old with him. To not be able to see him get married, have kids, buy a fancy house, to truly enjoy life..... to just simply miss him, that is the hardest part. If one person can change their life for the better as a result of Tom's passing than Tom's life will have had great meaning. My deepest sympathy to the McGrath Family who have endured more heartache than I can imagine.
