Tom was a great friend for 65 years. His personality, sense of humor and spirit were infectious. He was an exceptional athlete with many unique talents on the golf course. Tom had many good friends. He had a quality that made people feel good when they were around him. Heaven will be a much more fun place when he arrives.

My sympathies to Peggy, Jim and John. My memory goes back to the 40’s when your family came every Sunday to visit us in Dorchester. You came in your father’s grey coupe. It was a two seater and all six of you were in it! Those were the fun times. I have many happy memories. My sympathy.
From cousin Peggy (Marguerite)
