Giants4EVER Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Tommy LOVED the Redskins. He lived in Central NJ. He told me that when he was a kid, he became a Redskins fan to piss his father off who was an Eagles fan He drove down to the stadium every year for every home game....obviously he had season tickets. He was 45. We went to a few Giant-Redskin games together. I remember a game down there, I think it was a Sunday night, and the Giants-Redskins tied. It was a terrible game, but we had fun. One thing that always shocked me was the immediate swift retribution he dealt out any time another fan dared say 1 derogatory comment about him all decked out in all his Redskins gear. I often thought that he is going to get in a nasty fight one day, but I guess they thought he was crazy because he never did......That was Tommy. He was an uncle, a good friend, a cop, a godfather, a golfer and an all around crazy dude. He had a subtle all knowing, humor that took a little while to get used to....He was my friend I will miss him terribly.....I felt like you guys should know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadExField Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Any Redskins fan is a brother of mine, but regardless of any fan relation, no one should ever have to go that early, but who are we to know. Very sad, but rejoice in his memory! I imagine he would want the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gortiz Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for coming on and doing this Giants4EVER. A very cool gesture. Losing a friend, a good friend, is tough.

kramdizzle Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 How did he die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants4EVER Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 He lived alone, he got sick (I've been hearing flu) and was unconscious for undetermined amount of time, but I'm guessing less than 8 hours. He was brought to the hospital where they said he had double pneumonia, he fought for a week, he was getting better, but this past Saturday his heart gave out.....
