I have known Tom since I was 12 years old when he started dating my older sister Carol. I have special memories of tagging along with Tom and Carol to attend Holy Cross basketball games. Tom was a force to be reckoned with- driving the ball swiftly down the court, setting up plays and enjoying every moment of it !
Afterward, Tom would always want to celebrate with dinner and Desert !
I grew up thinking Tom was a giant - his height, his enthusiasm for life, his kindness and generosity, and most of all- his wide armed hugs when meeting up once again.
I enjoyed a kind of friendship with Tom, which I am so grateful for these many years later.
I feel as though I have lost a brother, one who always supported me throughout.
I am missing him.
