This photo brought tears to my eyes. 
Playing on this team with Tommy and Frank Demeo was a special time in my life. I remember his sister driving me to our games then. 
Later when Tommy worked in the 9th pct. He would stop by my firehouse and we would chat about when we were 12 yrs old. God bless you brother. 🙏

I remember sergeant Roche from his days working midnights at the 122pct. He was always a nice guy and a gentleman. May you Rest In Peace .

Thomas and family, we are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Let us know if you need anything. The Paris family. 

From your former across-the-street neighbors, Richard & Elizabeth, our thoughts & condolences go out to Maureen & your children, Katie, Thomas & Harrison. I remember how welcoming you were when we first moved into the neighborhood. In addition, Tom was generous with his time when we needed his handy skills… thanks for having been a great neighbor! 

Buckeyes forever ♥ 
I'm gonna miss you 
God will bless and protect Maureen, Thomas, Katie and Harrison. Love you buddy. Big Al.

Tommy was a great athlete but a better friend.  Never one to say too much, Tommy always had his way of letting you know he cared.
In good times and bad he was a source of strength for all.
I will miss his laugh, his sarcasm, his big heart and the couple of rounds of golf we would play each year.
Rest In Peace Buddy!


Tom, you were an inspiration to many, as I can remember. You were a gentleman, and my father, Coach B. loved you very much!
Please give him a giant hug for me. I miss him dearly, as I know you will also be missed by many. 
Love,
Denyse

Tom was a wonderful friend. You will be missed.
Frank

Since I first met Tom in SI pee wee football he was always my hero. Clever, considerate but nasty as a junk yard dog once he laced up and stepped on the gridiron. What a great Friend and Father and Husband and Son and Brother. He will always be missed but he will NEVER be forgotten. I love you my brother Thomas. Say hello to Cussie and Coach for me. John O
