I am deeply saddened to hear that my cousin Tommy has passed away. My condolace To Cathy, Rosemary and Mike and his two daughters. Every sunny day when I heard a plane overhead I always wondered if it was Tommy enjoying a beautiful day. Whenever I ran into him and Cathy he always stopped to chat. I will miss those times.

I will miss you Tom. You were someone I respected and admired for being the stand up guy you always were. You always remained true to self , you never wavered, your own integrity just to go along with the masses. I learned so much from you. Working at the airport with you was always a treat. Thank you for being a friend and colleague. Gods speed and now your flying higher than ever! Goodbye my friend.

To the Family of Tom,We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved. I am sure he will be truly missed by all who knew him. I remember him from high school, he was a few years older, but he was always involved with serving Mass as an altar boy. What a great way to remember a person ! I am sure he is in God's loving embrace.

Sincere and deepest sympathy to the family.He was an honest and true friend. We had some really interesting and fun times in senior year at CCHS and afterwards. Taking Basic Training at Ft. Jackson with him was very memorable. We had a lot of laughs and Tom gave Sgt Garcia all he could handle. LOL As I recall, he was stationed in Corpus Christi, TX for Helicopter Rotor repair school after basic training.Though I hadn't seen him in many years, I thought about him often and some of the crazy things we did.Rest in peace my brother, I will always remember you and the smile you had for everyone.
