Brenda, There are no words to say, except he was so loved, and we all Thank You, for that. You raised a son that always said, yes Mam, and offered to clean the carport, when he stayed at our house, with Ronnie... We love Tom.... and always will have so many happy times memories of him! My heart goes out to you, from one Mom to another, and I am praying for God to give you peace, and strength, so you can always think of him being happy, with that. smile..... We love you, and if you ever need anything, do not hesitate to call me! I will be at the funeral... Love, Ida Falcon One Memory; We had bought a 1964 Ford Truck, for Ronnie to drive around in Bmt. Colony, him & Tom were 15 years old.... They rode the bus to school, but usually some girls would bring them home.. A man called me at work, one day about 4:00 pm, said our old green truck was in the Bmt. Colony pond... Well, we didn’t have cell phones, so I had to leave work, and head that way, sure enough our truck was on the edge of the pond, the rear fender was under water, but it was stuck, and there were about 8 boys pushing, pulling that old truck, no one had a chain or rope to get it out....Finally, John Darby, Sr. got some chains and Anthony Tantilla stopped and helped him to get the truck out,.....
