I first met Tom when we were young lawyers in Utica. We became good friends, and enjoyed many pints together here and there, but mostly at The Devereaux and later, The Columbia. I remember him meeting Barb for the first time and their whirlwind courtship. Also her great admiration for the JSC she clerked for. (Emoticon omitted)
Tom also invited me to join his senior league team at the New Hartford rink and we enjoyed some winning seasons together after his rugby career wound down.
My last memory of Tom was in the years before they closed Starr Rink. He was a fixture at every Colgate game. It must have been a long drive for him and his presence there was a testament to his love for Colgate Hockey. Great Guy. One of a kind. My sympathy to his family.
