Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him! He was truly one of the good guys! I’ll miss his sense of humor and his amazing laugh!

I pray for all of his family and friends to remember how your life was richer by having had Tom as part of it!

I pray you will rest in the comfort of The Lord!

When I think of Tom I have very fond memories.  He had an infectious laugh and he was so much fun to be around.  May his family find peace in the memories he has left for them.  Tom was a gentle soul gone far too soon.  May he Rest In Peace.  Another bright smile has been dimmed.

Tom was a good friend and classmate.  I enjoyed knowing Tom and his family In Rockville. They were friendly and caring.  I’ll always remember those good times.  Goodbye friend, God bless you and your family.
