To all the Smith Family, my extended family, I send thoughts and prayers on this very sad day. Tom was not only a friend but a brother, mentor and role model for me growing up with the Smiths. Tom was always there for me no matter what the situation was. Lorraine, from the time he first saw you in a wedding dress costume at the Coach House on Halloween, Tom was head over heals in love with you. You were this superman's kryptonite Heaven gained a wonderful angel but we on Earth lost a hell of a man. Rest in peace brother. Know you are loved and missed.

Dear Lorraine and the whole Smith Family,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Tommy (oops "it's Smitty Billy" - lol). I so enjoyed our conversations at Angel's. Loved catching up with the legendary older brother of my childhood friend Jimmy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time. May you take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of our loving God. And I know his first words in heaven were "Dad, why are we taking credit cards and checks now? I thought our motto was In God we Trust all others pay cash." With deepest sorrow and sympathy, Bill Greto, Jr.

My thoughts and prayers are with Lorraine and all your family.
