Endorsement

To the voters of the 4^th Middlesex District, 

I am writing this letter as a personal endorsement of Tom Fallon.  I have known Tom for twenty-four years.  Over the course of those years I’ve found Tom to be honest, loyal and hard working.  He is a man who knows how to put his mind to something and accomplish that goal.   

I first met Tom in 1983 when he followed his older brother Ray into the Southside Boxing Gym.  Ray was a professional boxer who I trained along with several other professional stable mates.  Tom was a fifteen-year-old boy who was determined to keep up with these mature athletes.  He most certainly started as an underdog.  Well, in time and with dedication, Tom showed all in his path that he was a force to contend with.  I was proud to stand in Tom’s corner as the crowd in the Lowell Auditorium gave Tom a standing ovation for his victory in the 1985 Lowell Sun Golden Gloves Tournament.     

My relationship with Tom grew further when he came to work at Warner Cable where I managed his department.  In his three years at Warner Tom earned numerous awards and recognition for his outstanding efforts.  

Tom was always entrepreneurial and in 1989 Tom left Warner to start a successful business, which he grew into a franchise.  While managing his growing his business, Tom was fortunate enough to marry his high school sweetheart Kellie and together they raise three children.  

Tom has always been a leader, dedicated to the job at hand and guided by honorable principles.  It is my fervent belief that Tom Fallon would be a terrific State Senator representing the 4 ^th Middlesex District.  

Sincerely,

Richard Torsney
