Janice Newman wrote a sympathy message

“Tommy is my cousin. His visits to Colorado were always filled with fun and excitement. My fondest memory was when I was thirteen and Tommy took just me out to a fancy restaurant for dinner. He ordered shrimp cocktail, and he made me feel so special. I wish I could have visited him more often. He was very special to our family. Our deepest condolences to the family. Janice Cavitt Newman”
