I just found this as I have been looking up things for our 40th High School Reunion. Tom was one of my childhood friends. We would often play together after school. I remember him as a loyal friend with a great sense of humor who never had an unkind thing to say about anyone. My deepest condolences to your family. Just from knowing him from second grade through high school I know that he left many happy hearts.
