That night, less than a month ago, when a group of us had dinner at the 99, we laughed and laughed remembering some of Tommy's antics (as well as others, including ourselves : ). Then we talked about getting in touch with him, as Mike M. said he had recently tried.........I only wish we had. I know my sister Deb had been in contact with him in the past month and he had been ill with shingles.

May you finally be at peace now Tom.
Thanks for all the fun memories,
