All my childhood memories of my cousin Tom have been flooding back. We were very closee as kids and then drifted apart as we got older. But I will always remember a boy and a man who loved his family and life so well. He always had a good word to say and a laugh that was contageous. He reminded me of our grandmother Veronica for his mild manner and sense of humor. He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest well, Tom.
