I haves such fond memories of TJ growing up. One day in particular we walked over to the train station and used cardboard to slide down the hill when the ground was wet from the rain. We must have been 8 we definitely weren’t allowed to be there but we were :) I used to love staying at my aunt Patty’s house during summer vacation when I was little because I got to spend time with TJ. I remember swimming all the time and playing hide and seek. I remember in the pool there was a band used to simulate swimming laps, until we used it as a sling shot. We stretched it completely out sling shotting eachother from one side of the pool to the other. We got in trouble for that. It was totally awesome growing up with him as a cousin. Sad that we haven’t stayed in touch but I am glad to have spent time with him and to have memories to smile about. I am terribly sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family especially his mom. I hope his spirit and kind smile stays vivid in everyone’s memory and I pray for his soul to rest in eternal peace.
