I would very much like to thank the Lynch family for allowing us to do this event and have this foundation in Jim's name. He was a very special person to all of his friends and this allows us to keep a big piece of Jim in our hearts. Without the support of the Lynch family, Dick, Marie, Diane, Tommy, Rick, Julie, Sue and Don, this would not be the success that it has become. All of Jim's family and friends have gotten behind this event each and every year and that is another testament to the friendship and love that we all received from and had for Lynchie!

I would also like to thank the people who have been generous enough to play each year in this event. There are only a few who can claim to play in all 10. Steve Karras, Kevin Sullivan, Patrick Sullivan, Neal Foss, Scott Harkenrider, Mike Pimental, Jim Gilooly and Jeff Terrio. I know I have had a lot of fun playing with and seeing each of you. The other unsung heroes of the tournament are the volunteers that help out at the tournament as well as securing raffle items and sponsors. Thanks to Rhonda Pimentel, Patrick Sullivan, Kevin Sullivan, Susan Capachione, & Steve Karras.

I would also like to thank the people that allow me to spend a lot of my time with this event. My wife Maura and children Matthew, James, Andrew, Meghan and Michael. They know my passion beyond my family are my friends and their sacrifice is my time. Thanks to each of them!!!!

Much Love to all - Tom
