I am so sorry for your loss. I had just met Tom a few weeks before he passed away when he gave my daughter her first job. He couldnt have known how much it meant to her,or how much she needed it. He helped give her strength and a belief back in herself. She respected him so much, and we were so shocked and sad when we heard what happened. You and your son will always be in our thoughts and prayers, as will our memories of Tom and the gift he gave to my daughter. He helped her believe in herself again. For that I will always be greatful!!

I can't say how sorry I am to have heard the news. Tom and I shared many years together in the Boy Scouts in Lincroft. We both received our Eagle Scout badges days before our 18th birthdays - just under the wire. Tom and his wonderful personality will always live on with me. My condolences and prayers go out to his family.

I was shocked when we went to The Loop today and on the door it said they were closed in memory of Tom, I didn't know him as a friend, but I thought he was a wonderful manager. He always made our meal a joy, the employees seem to like him too - how could they not? My prayers are with you and your family. May God give you peace in this time of grief. May He surround you with love and friends. He will be missed.

I was shocked to hear about Tom's passing. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I know you loved him very much. Please accept my deepest condolences. If you need anything, please let me know.

To all the Family and Friends,
I am currently stationed with the Peace Corps in South America and have received word of Tom´s untimely passing via email. I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Hank´s for over five years, and know that his loss will be felt afar and by many. I wish I could be there to extend my condolences in person.

Chris Bulino

How utterly shocked & dismayed I am to hear of Tom's unexpected passing. Though many years have lapsed since we last conversed, there exist many fond childhood memories crossing Tom's path. At St. Leo's Church, he, his brother James & I served as alter boys under Father Bonsack & Father Clark. On Tuesday nights at the same institution, we attended CCD classes & CYO gatherings, often catching rides from each other's parents for a way home. In Lincroft Boy Scout Troop #110, where Tom proudly achieved his Eagle Scout award, we all attended many years of meetings, activities and camping experiences together. And in our small social circle, Tom was an unofficial big brother to us all.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences go with everyone as you endure this most difficult time. Tom is sorely missed and fondly remembered.

How happy I was to meet Tom and Andie. I especially ejoyed watching the little bundle of joy growing in Andie's belly, each week, as we welcomed this terrific lady and baby into our congregation. God has his reasons ...not easy to explain or understand, for taking Tom. But Andie and Connor must always understand one thing....There is a family at Christ Our King ready to pick up the "slack" whenever you need us ! We have known you , perhaps a short time, but our love and support is for a lifetime. Connor will know of his wonderful father. ALSO...my children, Kiana and Mikhael will be so very happy to be baptized with baby Connor. All our love and support, Kathryn, Kiana and Mikahael Kinley-Safronoff.

Andie, Connor, and the entire family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was certainly one of the good one's. I worked with Tom at Hank's and he always knew how to make me laugh. Tom made each person feel like they had a special and unique friendship with him. My you and your family find the strength that only God can give during such a difficult time. You and Connor are always in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked for Tom at The Loop and he made everyday there fun. It was never about him, he was always there to help us out anyway he could. It will never be the same and will always be his restaurant. We lost not only an employer, but a leader, rolemodel, and a friend.

Tom made my time at Hanks warm and worthwhile. I had the pleasure of working with him over the years, twice, and when I returned to the restaurant after years away, his welcome made my return a gift, I was running into an old friend. Tom you are missed my friend.
