My family grew up in Green Acres. I remember Tom also being on the swim team. We had recently connected and talked about old days, sports and family. He always spoke of his family. One of the things I loved most about Tom. I will miss you more than you know. Just sitting and listening to the Koi pond looking at Tom’s beautifully landscaped backyard which he meticulously maintained while reminiscing the “old” days. You will never be forgotten my dear friend. Rest in eternal peace!! Much love in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your families and friends. Peace be with you all!

I knew Tom in high school, but, as with so many old friends, life took us in different directions. We ran into each other years later and it was like we had seen each other very day since high school graduation. He was a great guy then and, and from what I see remained a great man his entire life. My condolences to his family. God bless you all and Tom.

Tom and I shared a lot in our lives even when we didn’t know each other—IHM, Sallies, and the U of D. What we shared when we met years later and became friends was a deep love of our daughters and a commitment to community-based youth sports. Tom was a great father ... and coach. I had the good fortune of being one of his assistants on the many softball teams he coached. The girls loved to play for Dad and for good reason—he always treated them with respect, and was never critical of how they played in the field. He singled out the least talented on the teams and commended them for even the smallest of accomplishments. It brought smiles to their faces ... and mine. Some anecdotes for the girls. For Rachel and Lindsay: My daughter, Holly, was the youngest and least talented on the team. She batted last in the order. In one game we played, she came to bat and the ball inadvertently struck her bat and dropped to the ground a few inches in front of the plate. Holly didn’t know it was in the field of play until Dad yelled to Holly to “run.” Holly took off like Forrest Gump, arms flailing, and didn’t stop at first, prompting the catcher to throw the ball over the first baseman’s head. The right fielder then proceeded to throw it over the second baseman’s head into left field when Holly didn’t stop at second. Disregarding the third base coach’s directive to stop at third, Holly made the turn at third, the third baseman’s swipe of her glove—after she caught the left fielder’s throw—missing Holly by a whisker. The play ended when the catcher dropped the third baseman’s throw as Holly stumbled across the plate and tumbled to the ground. When Holly came to the dugout to the cheers of the girls (and the chuckles of the coaches), Dad congratulated her for just hitting the “shortest” home run in the history of softball. For Jayne: Mallory has only happy remembrances of Dad and you. Do do I. We all do. The Zappa Family
