Dear Jean & Steve,
I was so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing; please accept my heartfelt condolences. I still remember when Tommy was born and we were allowed to go in and see him sleeping in his crib. He was a nice boy growing up in our fun neighborhood. And I remember watching him graduate from high school, still that smiling kid. Just want you to know that he will be remembered fondly.
Take care.

Tommy was my first friend even before kindergarten.  Our backyards were adjoining and we always met in the middle.  We would steal carrots from his Mom's garden and eat them with the dirt still clinging to them.  I have many fond memories of Tommy.

Rest I peace Tom...You now reside in the Kingdom your Father has plenty for you to do..

Jean and Steve, 

So sorry to hear about Tommy's death.   

Sincerely,

When I remember a childhood friend with kind memories and wonderful shared times, I think of Tommy Koch. 
Tom was the first kid to knock on our door when we moved into our house on Marcy Lane in 1971. We all grew up together - My brother Paul, the Thomas's, Saraceno kids, Jim and Rodney Nichols.  Tom was the one who got along with EVERYONE.  I don't think that I knew of anyone who didn't like him.  A wonderful boy, a good friend who will never be forgotten.  Rest in Peace Tommy.  We will meet again soon.  Your old friend, Mike V
