"Tom had been my classmate all through school , and a good friend."
"Dear Helene and family, my deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you. Tom had a way with words and everyone waited for his entrance to our monthly breakfast. If there was a special holiday that month, you could expect a special visitor in costume. He will be sadly missed. He was always a bright spot. Love, Jeanette Great picture!!!"
"Our very deepest sympathy to you, Helene, and the family. What a great picture of one of our favorite Irish lads. He certainly entertained us with his good humor and holiday costumes. Will miss him so much. Rest In Peace, Tom Vic and Linda Lelii and LC friends. ??"
