Tom was a true gentleman and a lovely man. I always enjoyed talking with him about books. He was a man of deep faith which he lived every day of his life. Have missed seeing Tom at the Courthouse these past few years.

I have fond memories of traveling to Ohio to visit my Dad´s sister Caroline and her sons Tom, Billy and John Michael, and of them coming to Milwaukee . We didn´t see each other much more than once a year but we always picked up where we left off. Later in life Tom and I chatted too infrequently on the phone.
Condolences to Charlie and his family. Love, Cynthia Purpero.

Tom was a great cousin and dear friend to me and my late father. I always enjoyed calling him up and talking to him, even though the past several years were difficult for him to to talk he always managed to keep our conversations going ! He was a very spiritual man and I really enjoyed learning from him and discussing our catholic faith. He will be missed not only by me but my entire family. All of you have my deepest condolences.
Sincerely, Bill Sberna
