Hugs and prayers for the family! I enjoyed my chats with him.
Rest in peace my brother.. You were a true blue guy.. A rare thing.. I will forever miss you..
My condolences to Tom’s family and friends. I lived across the street from Tom and his family in Brooklyn in the 60s and we went to the School of Visual Arts which is how he found me a few years ago on Facebook. Rest in peace Tommy.
rip yb!!
I worked with Thom for a number of years at AGT in New Jersey, he always had a smile, he was always very kind a true gentlemen! I remember his laugh! Many fun nights spent with the second shift at the Grasshopper.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family
R.I.P Thom
Go shot the moon, the sun, the great divide!!!
There will never be another Pirate Thom. Until we ride again. Much love to his family afar and to dear, sweet Jennifer.
I worked 2nd shift with Thom in NJ for several years. We all became good friends and would go out every night after our shift was over. We also were treated to Thom’s great cooking –deep fried turkeys at his BBQ’s and Christmas parties! Thom was a great guy and I will always treasure his friendship.
A true friend!!! Thanks for all your cooking, rides, laughs and memories. Thom will always be with us in our hearts. We will never forget him. Love ya…
The ole hangout will never be the same without you. Lead on Road Captain and show us the way to the other side. We miss you already.
Aye!

You will be missed, dear friend, you left us too soon…but will always be in our hearts. Love you brother.
My dear friend, I never thought I’d be writing something like this on your birthday. It was the birthday calls I’d make today NOT farewells, which I’d grown accustomed to on JAN.11th, the day I could wish you the best and catch up on what you’ve been up to…my oh my what a shocker, I still can’t believe it! We would’ve talked about the latest pilgrimage you took your bike on, the newest and greatest BBQ place you found, the next job you got better then the last, another idea for a new tattoo(I never did get to draw you up that Night Slime Moon you wanted for your shoulder), then the round of golf you played making a birdie on the back nine or the latest joke you heard from your favorite watering hole and then when you got up for air, you ended it all telling me how…
” You loved your life and even more how you loved your wife”! Thom I would get off the phone thinking now how little I said to make this guy so happy and to hear him describe every last detail of whatever the situation, I felt I was there. You were blessed not to let the little things in life get him down and appreciated what you had and I will always remember that! I was hurting when you left for Texas but now my hurt hangs even lower…for you left us way too suddenly and too soon, my dear brother…You will always be there for me! My sincerest condolences & sympathy to your loving bride Jennifer and sister Linda and family and your many friends who all feel your loss but I know we’ll be there together for the “round up” once again…I love you man! —Artie
