Rest in peace my friend.
Many memories and laughs throughout the years. 
I know you will look down and protect all of us, because that is what Angels do.

Tommy was a dear friend to the Heegan clan and will be dearly missed💕

Tommy was a dear friend of mine! I will miss. Him every day!

I've known Marilyn through my good buddy Ronnie - aka The Shad. And her children Jackie and Tommy since they were children. Always laughter and great food when we all were together. I'd like to think we got them all hooked being loyal NY Ranger's fans! True blue for his NYPD service protecting us and true blue Ranger fan.  I'll miss our texts after NYR playoff wins! Gone way too soon!!  Keep an eye on us from above!

I was honored to know you and will never forget how much you had everyone’s back in the 70, especially mine.  Will miss you, dear Tommy.

I will miss you more than words can say.  You were more than just a colleague, you were like another son to me.  Your kindness to all will be remembered .

I will miss you, my friend. As you said when last we spoke, “It was never boring,” 

Be at peace.

Tommy, 
Your heart could not have been bigger! The kindness you showed consistently to me and  our 70 Family brought a true comfort in a crazy place and during some tough times. You truly were a cop's cop, which is the greatest honor to be called. I will miss you and your smile. Gone way too soon Tommy... but what an impression you left on all you came in  contact with!!
Rest well... safe home!

So grateful
To have known you,
Pat Hughes

Tommy, you were to young to leave us. You left us with very fond memories and a lot of good cop stories. It was truly a pleasure to have know and worked with you. You were an inspiration to all you touched. As the expression goes, you were a cop's cop. Now you are with others from the 70 family. May you rest in peace, you truly earned it. 

Sincerely,
Brian Lane

Jackie - my heart is broken for you, the family, and all of us that knew Tom and loved him with all our heart.
Words can't begin to elucidate all that he was to me. He was my saviour, my true north. I feel untethered without him in this world. 
Know I will love him until the day I die and beyond.

My Condolences to all that knew him… Childhood friend, like a big brother always looking out for us girls…Memories I will hold so very Dear… May he Rest peacefully 🕊️

This is a picture from Billy’s wedding. First on my left I (Tommy Diaz) middle. Ski was a great friend to us all.

I was so very saddened to hear of Tommy's passing. I enjoyed the time I spent with him, and he was a good person. Although we lost touch, I thought of him many times over the years.  My deepest condolences to Jackie and their entire family. I will keep you all in my thoughts. Wishing you peace in your time of grief.

In sympathy,
Annette DeFonzo (Lellis)
