Tom was a great friend - He and I were roommates from the time we were 18 until 22. Still think of his often

Tom was the baby of the family. He was always very sensitive, but he was not afraid to do things out of the ordinary. He may have come from a childhood that was unstable, but he was made stronger by that experience and this allowed him to see people for who they were, not by how they grew up or what they do in life. He was always the loner growing up, but once he left home for college he realized that there was a whole world out there to conquer and conquer he did by making his own way in the world, and choices other people would have been afraid to make and creating an aura about his person that people gravitated to. I am so proud of him and what he became and what he stood for. I will always love him and miss him dearly. Happy Birthday Tom. I know you are living it up in heaven having a grand party in the style only you can create.
