Tom lights up our lives with his humor, wit and gregarious personality. As a sport fan he was the biggest fan to his grandchildren as he was present at their baseball, soccer and lacrosse matches to cheer. I have fond memories of attending concerts with Tom who knew all music well. A terrific father who considered Denis his son. It was apparent to all how much he loved Kathy who was the center of his life. We will miss you Tom.
