lAll Tommy's loved ones,
I am so sorry for your loss. Tommy, Danny and I grew up together and I have many fun memories. He was such a nice guy, a gift to us. By writings from others he was such a blessing as was his dad, mom , step-mom. Peace to all that are suffering from his passing. I am sure he will watch over all of us.
