Tommy, I want to thank you for all of the memories we shared growing up in Port Richmond. You approached me in first grade and we were friends ever since and were always there for me. Growing up together, I've spent many weekends at your houses on Emery and Belgrade as well. I can still hear your voice on telephone, asking me, "Jeff,, do you want to come over?" We were basically inseparable, and I was fortunate to share the same classroom (homeroom) together for 8 glorious years. You were truly my best friend. I've met a few others that say the same thing about you, which tells alot of your character. No matter where you ventured, you were always determined to go forth and make new memories and friends. Tommy, go forth and make new memories, and we can always remember you for who you were, everyone's best friend.
Ah Tommy, there isn't enough room on the internet to share all the memories. I grew up on tulip st. I never really left tulip st. Then in the summer before the 7th grade I met this hot headed kid playing stick ball at Jones Jr high at tulip and Ann. He hated losing haha. Well we started talking and bonded instantly. He made me venture off of tulip st and it changed my life forever. I met so many wonderful people and have really great friends all because of you my friend. You helped carve the man I am today brother. I will never forget you tom. I will miss talking to you. I love you. Until we meet again my friend rest in peace.
So no poop, there I was. About 5 years old. My family and I lived on the E side of Salmon St, between Clearfield and Clementine. I was going to Gert's store, which used to be on the NE corner of Salmon and Clementine Sts. A kid, about my age, was riding toward me on a Big Wheel. He stopped, as he approached me, and I stood on the corner. I noticed he had a metal box, sitting on the back. I asked him, "Hey kid, what's in the box?" He replied, "Basebaw cawds." And rode off, N. up that E side of Salmon St. toward Allegheny Ave. That's the first time I ever saw you. It wasn't until first grade that we finally met. We had a lot of fun when we were kids. I'm most saddened that we hadn't kept in touch, over the almost three decades since I left for the Army. Rest In Peace, my oldest, and dearest friend. Love ya, brother.

About 5 years old. My family and I lived on the E side of Salmon St,
between Clearfield and Clementine.
I was going to Gert’s store, which used to be on the NE corner
of Salmon and Clementine Sts.
A kid, about my age, was riding toward me on a Big Wheel.
He stopped, as he approached me, and I stood on the corner.
I noticed he had a metal box, sitting on the back.
I asked him, “Hey kid, what’s in the box?”
He replied, “Basebaw cawds.”
And rode off, N. up that E side of Salmon St.

That’s the first time I ever saw you.
It wasn’t until first grade that we finally met.
We had a lot of fun when we were kids.

Rest In Peace, my oldest, and dearest friend.
