What can I say , Tommy was great guy, great supervisor, teacher, when I started working for city in 1990 in streets , I was laboring for him , I learned a lot with street reconstruction. I wish we had more like Tommy !! Rest well my friend !
i worked with tommy many years at the city garage , he interveiwed me in april 1979 for a mechanic job , it was because of tommy's recommendation that i got the job , he was a good and fair supervisor , and a good mechanic himself , because of him i went on to a 34 year tenure with the city of allentown , rest in peace tommy , and condolenses to his family .
We're sending our love and prayers to Diane and the family. What a huge loss, he'll be missed.
Tom was a great husband, father, grandfather and an all around wonderful man. He had a big, caring heart and was kind to everyone he met.
He will certainly be dearly missed here on earth, but we know he is free from the suffering and pain of his worldly body and is whole again in heaven ❣️
