Connie Thomas and Duke Thompson says:
Tom was not only my neighbor for 28 yrs, he was a friend. Many of us in this neighborhood became friends. We had many get togethers, cookouts, bon fires, boating and fireworks! I was so happy Lynn and Tom finally found each other! I kept telling them they should go out! They would make a good couple! They did. Now, I know they are together again! Camping and having a bon fire under a full moon! So, Tom and Lynn… Duke and I raise our glass to you and say; “God Bless America!” “And God Bless Beer!”
Michela says:
Tom was a neighbor to my grandma (Nonny) since I was born. He became part of the family and joined us in many of our cook outs and game nights. He was a good guy and will be missed!
