Cousin Tom will be greatly missed by our family. I was lucky enough to be Tom's secretary at the Police Pension Board and it was there that Jim and I met and became life partners. Tom was honest, kind, funny and we have been blessed to have him as family and friend. Our deepest sympathy to Alice, Tom Jr., Mary Alice, Marty and Katy. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.Tom will always have a very special place in our hearts.
