God bless Fr. Tom. Lord, pls shower your Grace and love upon this very good shepherd. He was always so humble, kind, devout in faith and always there to offer spiritual support to those suffering illness. Thank you, Tommy, for being such a loving cousin, presider over our family’s weddings and funerals and always being there at family gatherings. Your grand sense of humor will be greatly missed. You told us last year that you look forward to saying our 50th wedding anniversary Mass in a few years. We will toast your name that day and thank you for presiding from Heaven. We love you and look forward to seeing you again. Love, Mike and Kathy

May his memory be a blessing. I never met Father Tom, but my friend and his Linda Becker spoke fondly of him.

FatherTom patrolled with me many times. On one occasion we stopped 3 armed robbers. Thankfully they were arrested with out the use of force. The main reason (?) They believed Father Tom was also a police officer. Never forgotten.
