Tom was such a wonderful man. He was a happy-go-lucky sort, that always had a smile and a ready joke to make you laugh! He was kind and personable, all around great guy! I will miss him dearly. Love to all.

I grew up with Tommy in Eatontown. As kids Tommy and I both were boy scouts together. Even after many years of not seeing each other until reunited with Facebook. Did we still share some of the stories of those days as scouts. The camp outs, and hikes. And the meeting at our local church. Tommy was a good guy. A friend in which you could rely on, if you needed help. You had to know Tommy to like Tommy. Tommy was the guy of guy that like to play jokes. As kids he loved his fireworks. I remember many times while camping he would set the camp fire in which we also cooked on. He place M80'S and firecrackers in the fire so that not until he lite the fuse that ran to the fireworks would they up. He would stand, and then yell out, Something like better watch out the fire is about to blow up, then dang.....Tommy love to fight. In sense he was the short fuse, but that was how it was back then. We would fight to see who was stronger. Then be friends again. Like I said Tommy was a good guy. He will be missed by many. And many will have stories to tell as I do of a friendship that most will never have with a person. My condolences to his family, his friends, and to his wife. Rest easy my friend.
