I knew Tom since 196? we graduated from Grammer School, and Highschool together. Through the years we lost touch and recently reunited on Facebook. I was so happy to reunite with Tom and his cousin Michele only to learn of the sad news of his illness and recent passing. Tom takes a part of me and our childhood memories.
My condolences to his Wife, daughters, and his Cousin Michele. I pray that God gives all of you the strenth to get through this very very difficult time.
