I remember Tom from when we were children. We lived next door to Tom, his dad and his brother until we moved after elementary school. He always had a smile and loved to ride big wheels or bikes with my brother. I remember he picked flowers from the neighbor, Mrs Hermans yard, I think that was her name, and he would give them to my mom. Later I ran into him again when he was playing street hockey. I just remember he was always smiling! He definitely had a gentle soul and a fun loving personality.My most sincere sympathy goes out to his family and everyone that loved him. My prayers are with you.

Walked to Schaeffer with him. We were kickball kings. I sat on every middle school bus and some high school with him. One of the nicest people I knew. I often wondered how he was. I’m terribly saddened that this is my answer. Prayers Tom. Blessings to you. Prayers to his family. Say hi to Uncle Jim and Grandma for me. 😧😥😢
