I just heard of T.J's passing. I am devastated to hear this news. Although I've not seen T.J. since his Neumann days (I was his high school English teacher), I have many rich memories of TJ and his brother, Dante. To all members of the Coccia family, to all members of the forever-famous 1P1 family, I send my heart-felt love and sympathy. T.J's big smile and bigger heart will always remain one of my favorite Neumann memories. Special note of love and sympathy to Dante. I feel privileged to have known T.J. Like many, my life was made richer by his friendship.
