Tommy was a cool, sweet guy.  His family would like everyone who knew Tommy, the following were the most important things in his life.  First he loved all of his family unconditionally.  Second, his friends - always so important.  From 40 years ago  before his sobriety and after.  He was strong enough to remember the old times and the new.  He loved you all.  For over 30 years, he was a driver for the Daily News in Center City, a tough job.  He loved being a teamster.

Shev loved music everyday, whether it came from the thousands of CD tapes, albums or live concert at any venue from the Linc to the bar.  He also loved motorcycles Triumps and Harleys.  From the time he got his license til recently, Tommy found every crack on the roads of Bucks County and New Jersey.  He would tell you "You can't get to heaven on the Frankford El".  Susan, Bobby, and John will miss him forever!  PEACE
