Tom was my best friend. We both played football at Mater Dei before we transferred to VPHS. Tom was a gifted athlete and had cannon for an arm. Tom was my best man when I married Teri Spath in 78. Tom was a beautiful fun loving guy who would give you the shirt off his back. He was admired, liked and loved by all. Tom went on to be quite successful, He owned a food brokerage and distribution company. Tom was happily married to Camille, they had no children. Tom was everyone's favorite uncle. Tom and I remained best friends until the end, Teri and I were with him and his family on the day before his passing. Tom was a good man, I think of him daily

I remember Tom being a terrific athlete. We played alot of tennis together at the open courts in Nohl Ranch for a couple years after graduation. RIP Tom!
