So deeply sorry for your loss. Tom was a great man, everyone he met is a little better for knowing him. Tom always made you feel you were a friend. He will surely be missed by all.

Tom greeted me every morning at Investors Capital with a smile. Always willing to do anything to help make the work day go smoothly..there was not a task too big or small that if you asked him he wouldn't do.
He loved his family.

Rest in peace you will not be forgotten.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Tom many years ago when he lived on Adams Street in Lynn. He was my upstairs neighbor and a good friend. May GOD give all of you the comfort you need right now.

Rick so sorry to hear of your brothers passing, I'm sorry to say I will not be able to attend services.... Due to the tremendous distance between us.

I'm so sorry to have to say goodbye to Tom. He may have been a little guy but he had the biggest heart. There's not a thing he wouldn't do for a friend. Tom and I worked together at both Special Thoughts and Investors Capital. As kind as he was to his friends nothing meant more to him than his family. My thoughts go out to you Theresa and his children. We lost one of the good guys.

We are very sorry to hear about Tommy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim and Ann DeMars
