Peg I am saddened to hear of Tommy’s passing. I worked with Tom 30 years ago at Weir Cove and have never forgotten how much fun he was and what a good man he was. My wife and I pray God’s peace for you and your family. Peter & Donna Pavkovich

My husband and I are very sorry to hear of Tom’s death. We remember Tom and Peggy, back in the early ’80s, when Tom was spinning records at the Victory Lounge. We always enjoyed dancing to his music. Memories go back even further. As a kid, I remember visiting Tom and his parents, with my mom and dad, at their house in Paris. We always had so much fun. Our condolences go out to Tom’s wife, Peggy, his mother, Gazella, his childern, and to all of the family. Sincerely, Mike & Patty (Sigmont) Hvizdak
Peggy and family, I was very sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. Cancer is a very unforgiving disease. I still miss Robbie so, after all these years. Again I”m very sorry. Rhonda
Peggy and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you… Tommy and I go way back to 2nd grade thru high school.. and in all that time, I never heard Tommy say a bad word against anyone… even when kids were picking on his good buddy “Red”, he wouldn’t say a word. I am glad that I got to visit Tommy at WMC, and we reminisced about ole Hanover Days, and our class mates… now God has called him to be one of his Special Angels.. as he will always be very special to those that had the priviledge to grow up with him.. With fond memories, Paulette Blaine Hart
