I knew Tom for a short while we were counselors at the Exeter Summer Hockey School. I just found out today he passed. He was a great player and an even greater guy. I'm happy I got to know him, for however briefly.
@Chhompen he apparently committed suicide at Providence Place Mall...his dad said in the article at telegram.com that he had been battling mental illness throughout his life
@nolang32 He played for the San Jose and their affilates for 4 years, with Manchester last season and with the Falcons for a few games this season. He will be missed here in Worcester as well as many other places he played as well.
This is beautiful. Tom will be missed dearly. I am a fan of his and I am just heartbroken he is gone. I hope he is in a better place and I'm just glad he isn't suffering anymore. Rest In Peace Tom, you were a great player and an amazing person.
R.I.P Tom

@SerenaShark He was a wonderful and a great hockey player. I'm certain he will be missed terribly by everyone who was ever in his prescence.
