Our high school years would not have been the same without the Chocolate Shop.  A great place to visit with friends and classmates.  Tom was able to keep a shop filled with teenagers under control but also treated us with respect which we happily returned.
He was a great man and I'm sorry for your loss.

Tom's Chocolate Shop was "home away from home" for my High School years.  If you wanted to spend time with classmates and friends over a coke, cherry coke or chocolate coke, he and Nick had the recipe.  Always a crowd around the pin ball machine.  It was great to see him at our 50th class reunion 8 years ago.  I also remember he lived close to me on Vernon Street.  A gentleman and friend to many PHS students. May he rest in peace and his family know he was revered by many in Princeton.

Tom was a dear friend of mine and spent hours with his Chocolate Shop, a truly institution during our high school years. 

Thereafter, I spent many hours working wtih Tom as County Clerk, researching my family history. He was always very helpful and patient finding various documents and my inquiries.

He was an outstanding gentleman and a dear friend. I will miss him and give my condolences to his family and his legion friends.
