Tom played such a big part in the person I am today. He showed me how to cook and have fun doing it. Making sure my brother and I always felt the love on Valentine’s Day with a heart shape pizza. He offered his protection and solid advice (even when I was a teenager and didn’t want to take it ;) Today I have a successful career in the restaurant industry and know that Tom had a part in that. I will always be grateful for his big heart.
Tom, you were a big influence on my childhood and were always around to offer support. I'm thankful for knowing you and will never forget the memories we shared. You will be greatly missed.
My heart aches that I won't be seeing that crazy face of yours again. I'll have to fall back on all the memories and fun we made and shared together for the past 30 yrs. You will always be in my heart. Love you dearly. See you upstairs my dear friend.
