Maureen Vernes commented:
"Saw Boston with Tommy on lead vocals back in 2012. He sounded just like Brad Delp. If I hadn't been familiar with Boston early on (70s), I would've thought he was the original lead singer. It was an amazing concert at Aberdeen Proving Ground (army)... RIP!"
Jeff Koegel said:
"I saw Tommy perform with Boston for the first time ever at the Brad Delp Memorial Concert. I've been a huge fan from the start. He kept the Boston vocal sound alive."
Nancy Kent Carroll wrote:
"We loved Tommy! We’ve been coming to see your band play for years and also saw him play for Boston. He will certainly be missed. Thinking and praying for you and your family."
