Tom and I worked together at FEMA. He was a wonderful friend and his positive attitude made him a joy to work beside. He spoke so fondly of his family and his face would light up when he spoke of moving closer to them. He will be greatly missed. RIP my special friend.
I worked with Tom at FEMA for probably 15 years. We used to joke and call each other “Cuz”, because of our same last name. I am so sad to hear of the transition of my “adopted cousin”. Some people at work actually thought we were real cousins! I have fond memories of Tom as a good friend and colleague and a kind man who adored his wife, children and grandchildren. He lived for the joy of being with them all. Sending prayers for the whole family. 🙏
