I’ve known Tom for probably 46 years and his greatest character trait was he loved to make people laugh. He was fearless and any time you questioned him about his actions he would question right back, “why? what do you thinks gonna happen?” Like the day he taught me how to drive a car, and it was my 1st time behind the wheel and he took me on the parkway but I was only going 30mph and he said “I think you gotta go a little faster” . By the way, I’m a good driver so far, knock on wood! There was a time I was asked to make a cake for Diane’s birthday and he wanted a really Big cake, so we used 4 mixes and the cake was sooo big and sooo heavy ! After we got it out of the oven to cool on the counter, the dog jumped up and ate it, not all of it and we were able to piece it back together. Being that it was so big no one noticed how lumpy it was . I remember many Sunday dinners enjoyed at my mom’s , fighting over the mashed potatoes! He was a character! Always Instigating all who were present . He really loved being around people and loved watching TV and movies such as the Rocky movies! I can hear him call “Adriane” I did it! “ I’m sad to loose him and hope he’s with all the others who have gone before him and they are all together and at peace!
