To Mary, Tommy, Michael and Liz Sadly, I just learned of Tom’s passing in November. My sincerest condolences to all of you. Tom was a wonderful and long time friend and mentor, beginning at TGFA and throughout my career. He was the most kind, sincere, and thoughtful person I’ve ever met. You could always count on Tom to lighten the mood , tell a funny story and just smile. An authentic ‘Guys Guy’, always there to listen and advise when asked. Tom will be greatly missed, however I’m sure he is at peace in Heaven… God bless Tom!

Tom was one of the friendliest people I have ever met. His warm and genuine personality always made a person feel at ease with him. Would have loved to talked with him about his baseball days. He will be greatly missed.

I will always remember Tom’s laugh and all of the good times that he and Mary and my husband and I shared in Mtn. Lakes raising our children so many years ago. He was a dear friend and I will miss him.
