Condolences to the family and friends of Tommy shaw
I had the extreme pleasure to work with Tommy at United Distributors for 5 years. He was a great friend and co-worker always made the work day enjoyable always upbeat no matter how much he hurt within. I was and still am glad to call him my friend I hadn't worked with him for a couple years now but we alway stayed in contact through Facebook and Words with Friends. He was a very funny jokester and made the work day enjoyable considering the way the company treated us employees. I am so glad that our paths crossed and I got to know him Rest in Peace my friend we will meet again

To the family of T J, I
To the family of T J, I would like to take this time to send my condolences to the family of T J. I was at a loss for words when I received the news of T J's passing. It is so hard to say goodbye to a loved one. I remember T J as a small boy who lived across the street from me. He used to play with my two sons. The last time I saw him was at my oldest son's Funeral Service last year. I know what his family is going through, and only by the grace of God you can get past your sorrow. You have to remember all the good times you had with T J. And may God be with you at this time.

Uncle T....you were the realist man I knew...you were the definition of family. Even when everything was going wrong you knew what to say or do to make it go right....like when I was super young letting us know that no matter what family went through you and family was always there like, making us tie our hand behind our backs with socks and tie our shirts up and run into one another with our bellies out, or in the corner with our our hands out and holding 3-4 phone books at a time cuz we wouldn't go to sleep or stop laughing. The hot rod shows we used to go to in York, PA . Haha, you were beyond an amazing man. When you used to talk about alcohol and what's the good kind to get or not. When we had the summer party at your house and I got the drunkest and you wouldn't stop picking on me. When I woke up not know what happened, but you knew everything. Ill always cherish what kind of relationship we had. The relationship you had with all of your nieces and nephews. Thomas John, you left us with an amazing woman Shanna, I remember my 1st birthday. Meeting her, not knowing she would also mean the world to this family. You guys were soulmates from the start. Uncle TJ, you left us with Zach. The greatest athletic boy I know, he will get far in life knowing that you left him with the ability to never give up. Thank you for being the glue to this family. You were beyond amazing, and there's no way we will ever forget about you. I love you more then you'll ever know Uncle Tj. Thank you for being an important impact of my life. Ill never forget anything you taught me.
