I knew Tom in High School and he was a friend of mine. He was also a roommate of mine and we lost touch with each other over the years. Tom was very kind and I can always remember the times we spent in his basement listening to music. I will miss Tom and my hearts and prayers go out to his family.

Tom was one of the humblest, honest and decent men I have ever met. I will remember him for those attributes and his wit. I will also remember him for selling me fire-crackers at a 200% mark-up (11 year old entrepreneur). Love ya Yuff. Mark Suel
