I knew a young Tommy Furst when we lived in Hicksville, NY. We went to Old Country Road Elementary where he played the trumpet and I played the baritone horn. He and I were neighbors on Underhill Avenue, and often got together to play duets and clean our instruments! He was a good friend all through those grade school years, until my family moved to Ohio. I was sorry to read his obituary, but the glowing description of his life was beautiful. I wish the extended Furst family well. Sincerely, David Rauter .
