My deepest sympathy, heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to everyone in the family. Tom (Tommy as he was called when we went to grammar school together), was my closest friend through all 8 years at Harlow Street School in Worcester. As kids, you name it and we probably did it. Playing games, inside and outdoors, playing sports, acting up in class on occasion, playing all kinds of pranks, smoking our first cigars together and getting sick and yelled at by our parents for doing it. On the other hand we attended Sunday school together, went to church together, had paper routes etc. All this took place in the late 40's and early 50's.
Life took us in different directions and places after that. But Tom had the thoughtfulness and courage to get in touch with me when he came back to live in Massachusetts after a period of close to 50 years. What a joy it was to see him again after all those years. We reminisced about old time memories and created new memories which I will cherish always.
Tommy rest in peace, may God's healing power be with your family. And until we meet again I remain
Your friend.
Robert
PS Please excuse the laundry in the pics. And as you can see, as a kid Tommy was always much bigger than me. In the pics even the fish he caught was bigger than mine!
