Love you and miss you Tom. Thanks for being a great brother in Law, good friend and wonderful uncle to our children. Kevin, Donna, Ann Marie, Rosalie,Daniel, Thomas.

So much love and support to my wonderful godmother Aunt Diane during this time. Uncle Tom was an amazing man and a gentle and loving godfather. His stories and jokes always made me smile and brought me so much joy. He always took care of me whenever I would visit and would always ask me about my life and any of my plans for the future. Uncle Tom had a way to make everyone he met feel special and important. I have a childhood filled with happy memories many in part to the love and care of him and my wonderful aunt. Though it hurts my heart to know uncle has left us, I know he is at peace in heaven. I feel blessed that my life was brightened by his presence and that I was able to have him as such an amazing godfather.

My brother in law, good friend and former boss. I miss you Tom. Thank you for all the fun you gave to me and the love you gave to my children. We love you Diane and are their for you at this difficult time. Love Kevin, Donna, and the children.
