Our very deepest condolences. Tom, a man of God and strong in faith. A man with integrity, honesty, and humility. A man devoted to his family. A true friend in all its meaning. His love of Norte Dame football was infectious. We would gather together to watch every game, every season. We enjoyed our Wednesday nights and loved our family gatherings. I thank God for all the years of friendship. A piece of me is now gone. I'm beyond words but know my Buddy is at rest with our Heavenly Father. You will be missed but not forgotten. Love you! Buddy
