I have fond remembrances from my youth of an often-smiling Tom. May similar memories comfort his family at this time.
My condolences to Tom’s wife, family and many friends. I met Tom at URI and we played rugby together in the 70s for many seasons. He was a great guy and always smiling. Recently we reunited again on FB and our rugby team was looking forward to seeing him in an upcoming reunion. The ‘boys’ expressed their sympathy as well.
