Ever since I heard the news of Tom's passing I haven't been able to stop crying and many people have different interpretations of what crying and being a man is about. Well all I can say is the way I see it is crying is a nature healing process and it takes some longer to heal then others. I don’t see any shame or weakness in crying, if anything it shows the real person inside. That is something Tom would have said to me, NEVER would he look at me as a weak person for crying. Now he may joke and say “You need to man up don’t cry…†but I knew that was just Tom saying if you gotta cry man cry because I will continue to see you for who you are and never pass judgment if you cry.
Tom to me was like a brother the type I could always count on to hear me out when things were not going my way and even when they were he would listen to me gloat about everything I would do with deejaying and my CD cover art work. I thought it was only right I showcase those art talents for him one more time by doing this memorial page for him. Nothing I can ever do or say will ever be able to thank him for what he did for me as a friend. He was the greatest best friend anyone could ever have and he would encourage you to keep going for whatever it is you wanted to do in life and never accept anything less then what you dreamt about being and doing. So Tom “Mother Fucking†Soto this page is for you and like I would tell you when hustling CD’s…man come on the artwork on the front is worth the $5 dollars for the CD lol…hope I served you well and I will continue to rep you for ever and ever. You will always be there by me I know this for sure. The Lord must have really needed you to take you away from us and I can say he gained a great angel. I will miss you brother and will always love you!
Sincerely,
Bill Barry
