Tom was a good hard working family man. He was a heavy equipment and asphalt salesman from Vestal Asphalt Inc. for many years. A lifelong Giants fan and one of the funniest persons you could meet. He was very gifted in that way. The family would like to thank Dr. Frank Floyd of UHS and Colleen Cameron R.N. from Lourdes for many years of kind compassionate care. The doctors, nurses and staff at Wilson Hospital South and North Tower 4 for their care as well. He was loved very much and will be missed until, we meet again.
