Dear Mark,
Tom and I were classmates and it was a distinct pleasure to have known him along with Rudy while attending Perry Junior High. I was sorry to learn of his passing. I wish to extend my condolences to you and your family…so hard for you. Tom and I were recipients of the Senator Anthony Medal, as well as attended the class dance together. It was held in the afternoon in the school gym walking to and from my home. Bless all of you during this sad time.
Tommy was my best friend from second grade at Ralph Street School until he moved to Barrington in tenth grade, when we were at Mount Pleasant High School. We lost touch after he went to URI and I went to Brown, but that’s what happens in life. Great guy, good friend, and I’ve missed him for many years.
So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing Mark. You must be going through so much right now. Please know I’m a phone call away if you need anything
