Tributes to Tom... |

Bob Filoramo
I spoke with Tom about three weeks before he died. I had not been in
contact with him for some time, though I knew he was fighting for
his life. "They kicked me out of the hospital" because there was
nothing more they could do for him. He knew his time was very short.
Our phone conversation was filled with stories about the sometimes
goofy stuff we did as Prepsters. We had gone to Coney Island more
than once, always to renew the thrill of daring the famed "Parachute
Jump" where we would ride in tiny seats to the top with a great view
of Brooklyn and the Atlantic Ocean. When we hit the top, a sudden
release and drop left our stomachs in our mouths, followed by wild
yahoos as our "parachute" opened and we headed for the boardwalk
below, only to turn around, get back on line and do it all over
again.
To commemorate our Coney Island adventures, we would get our picture
taken together in one of those old, pay a quarter, pull the curtain
phone booths with just enough room for one. I still have at least
one picture of the two of us crammed in, laughing hysterically.
I thank God I had a chance to reminisce with "Tommy" before he went
to Glory. He was a good man, a faithful husband to Judy and a dear
old buddy. May he rest in peace. |
