Lorraine (Lori) Sunday
The Bubba family: My sincerest sympathy! Tomi was the sweetest, charming,& most kind gentleman who was one of my dad's 3 best friends. My dad, Al,& Tomi shared the same birth date Sept.15,but Tomi was 5 years older. Tomi attended my dad's 90th B/D party in 2006 & I informed him that I was organizing dad's 100th champagne B/D celebration for 2016. His reply,"Lori, you are really pushing it, but I will try to stay alive for that one!"
Dad passed away 2 days after his 95th B/D in 2011. Tomi was by my side @ the funeral parlor telling me to be strong for the family--when he knew that I just lost my best friend. He held my hand tightly while the Knights of Columbus had their brotherly ritual. His tight hand squeezes & words of encouragement will not be forgotten.
Tomi is now with his wife, my dad,& Ron Richardson & they are probably sharing stories while eating, drinking wine, watching how we deal with sadness.
Bubba family--be strong together & allow beautiful memories sustain you. I send you hugs
