My favorite memory of Poppy is that we played a board game called googly eyes He looks so funny with the glasses on. I was laughing so hard that I almost fell to the floor.

Tommy you and I share so many special memories together it’s hard just to pick one But I would have to say it was the day you asked me to marry you and we have been soul mates forever .And then it was the birth of Melissa she became your little buddy how you loved it when she would play beauty shop and comb your hair and she would make you cakes in her easy bake oven and the first time you took her fishing And when she gave you your first grandson Micheal followed by Vincent and how enjoyed going and watching them play tee ball right up to them playing baseball then the glow on your face when you got your 1st granddaughter Charlotte Rose .I will continue with the memories and never let them go .I love you now and forever

Q: What was Thomas really good at? A: I’d have to say love His wife and family… and of course grilling any chicken you could possibly imagine!! Fo,r it is impossible for me to think of Uncle Tommy, nor to recall a single memory where Aunt Joann, and often times all of his immediate family, were not present! That’s how I always see it, Aunt Joann and Uncle Tommy! I always looked up to and admired their relationship and the beautiful bond they seemed to share…true partners in this thing we call life! I would imagine that, hopefully, someday I would be fortunate enough to have that kind of deep bond and nurturing love with my partner. So, every time the realization of Uncle Tommy’s passing dawns upon me, my thoughts immediately turn to Aunt Joann and the pain she must be bearing right now, knowing her though, she’s likely putting on a very brave face! I think of Melissa and everyone else and hope that God is keeping them close in his embrace and helping them through this difficult and painful time! My most vivid memories are those of the great times we all had at Elaine and Frank’s wonderful Fourth Of July parties, with uncle Tommy at the Grill from the moment they arrived until the moment it was time to depart for home! And all of that amazingly delicious chicken!! Of sitting and talking with Aunt Joann and of how they were both always so kind to me! You would be extremely hard pressed to find a nicer lot of people than Uncle Tommy, Aunt Joann, and the whole famdamily!! My heart goes out to all of you, I cannot express how truly sorry I am, for your loss!! Although, I was not able to make it to the services, I hope you all know that I was most regretful at not being able to join you and that my heart, thoughts and prayers were with each and every one of you, as you grieved for your loss! Though He has left in body, his spirit is with us all, the love he showed every person in His life, is with all of us forever! I hope you all know that I am here if ever you need me, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or arms to hug you!! I love you all and you will remain in my thoughts and prayers, eternally!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sending our love to our cousins for the loss of Thomas. He was a very kind and loving member of our family. He has always kept in touch with his Aunt Sugar which has meant so much to her. He loved his family and you could see his face light up when he talked about you all. He was so genuine, fun loving and kind and reminded us so much of his mom. May he rest in peace. Love, Maryann, Chris and Mom

I'll never forget you Tommy. From the time you and Joann started dating you were a good friend to us all. Hanging out at the 93 and welcoming me and my sister into your home afterward to chill always . Great times and alot of laughter. Then your beautiful wedding to Joann. So much happiness for you both. Rest in peace Tommy I know you'll be watching over your 1 true love and your beautiful family.

Loads of great times at the 93. Can’t forget the great eastern seaboard black out. We all ended up back at my house and spent the evening in the pool. Really great times rest well, my friend you’re in God’s loving arms.
