Delegations in attendance at mass were from VIP Auto Discount Centers throughout New England and various auto and tire supply representatives that Tom and his family had worked with over the years. Following a procession to St. Peter’s Cemetery, Monsignor Dubois recited committal prayers at St. Peter’s Cemetery.

At the conclusion of committal services, all were then invited to a reception of fellowship at the Chic-A-Dee Restaurant in Lewiston.
