- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
Thomas E. Harrington, Jr.
For Tom, a bike on the road was worth two in the shed. There was no place that he’d rather be than on his motorcycle. If asked why a dog sticks his head out of a car window, he would know the answer. He attended numerous local bike runs, Laconia Bike Week, Thunder in the Valley and was always up for just taking a ride. But his passion wasn’t limited to just two wheels: his garage was never complete without a truck, preferable raised. Always proud of his mechanic’s manicure, he inherited his knowledge of diesel engines from his grandfather. He used those skills during the many years he worked as a mechanic for Brennan Transportation, but he had also been a truck driver and owner/operator there. Most recently he had worked for Easter Lift in Maple Shade.
Tom is survived by his children: Thomas, III (Claudia) of NY, Michael of Mt. Laurel, Heather Spano (James) of FL and Mark (Jillian Oman) of Delanco, his brother, Joseph (Karen) of Deptford, his nephews: John and Joe, niece, Karen and his close friend, Bob Malecki.
Come celebrate Tom’s 55 motoring years (Jan. 22, 1958-Dec. 17, 2013) Saturday from 10 AM at the Sweeney Funeral Home, Riverside, where the service will be at noon. In lieu of flowers memorial gifts may be made to Samaritan Hospice 3 Eves Dr., Suite 300 Marlton, NJ 08053.

So sorry for your loss…Tom was a good person and will be missed by many.
Tom was a good friend, neighbor and biker buddy. Rode alot with Tom, our favorite was the POW run to D.C.
Will miss his smile and wonderful deep voice.
I haven’t seen Tom in about 20 years but all through high school I always liked him. He was one of the “good guys” to me. Way too young 🙁
My sincere condolences to Toms family and children. He was a dear friend who lifted my spirit in times of despair, may he rest in eternal peace.
Tom was my mentor in my early years at Brennan Trans.,took me under his wings ,showing me the Brennan way to do it .I could always count on Tom for directions or a helping hand in the yard.
I will miss you buddy.
Tom was one of those guys who was a no nonsense person that was straight forward hard working and you always knew where he stood because he did not mince words. What a loss at such an early age! Toms parents were an amazing help to me in my life probably would not be where I am in life without them!
Our deepest condolences to Tom’s family and friends. RIP Tom, you were taken way too young.
Tom was my next door neighbor in Riverside for a few years. I spent a lot of time at his house shooting the breeze and sipping a few cold beers. Tom was always available if I needed him and always had something nice to say. I will miss him dearly and will be looking up to the sky every time I hear the rumble of a motorcycle. I know he’ll be up there with that big grin of his…. riding with the angels.
My condolences to Toms family, he was a good person and he will be missed.
Tom was an inspiration to me. After his accident, i never saw anyone battle back the way he did. It always put things in perspective for me. Tom would always stop by the office and chat and bring me up to date on what he was doing and his family members.
Great co worker, great person but also a great friend.
Great personality… always helpful… came to my store everyday with genuine feelings and concerns….he will be missed dearly
Emily-Fat malabsorption is lknied to a variety of conditions for example, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I would encourage you to speak with your gastroenterologist about being evaluated for these conditions if you have not been tested. In small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, bacteria invades your small intestine. When your body secretes bile into your small intestine, bacteria can make the bile inactive therefore, unable to break down fats and thus contributes to fat malabsorption. FODMAPs are fast food’ for bacteria so if you go on a low FODMAP you are essentially starving some of the bacteria and hopefully in the long run you could benefit from the diet. The treatment for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth typically is an antibiotic. But is is always important to discover why you got bacteria overgrowth so your gastroenterologist should explore reasons and treat your body so you don’t get it again (If that is the case for you!) So to answer your question, FODMAPs typically cause symptoms within a few hours BUT for someone susceptible to bacterial overgrowth there may be longer term impact of eating FODMAPs such as feeding bacteria that ultimately may impact our body in various ways for example, contributing to fat malabsorption.
Hi Scott,Thanks for reading the book and for wrtinig. Amylose starch is always a resistant starch due to its structure. As you know, jasmine rice has only amylopectin, which is easy to digest starch. But both types of starch may become more resistant to digestion when foods containing them are refrigerated or dried out for instance. As long as you reheat the jasmine rice well with enough moisture, it should not be too much of a problem. I wouldn’t eat it if it seems too dry or clumpy. It should be fluffy in texture.In the clinical study, we provided frozen meals that included low amylose rice with the directions to reheat in the microwave. You can see the results were still extremely good.Since research in this area (controlling the amount of amylose/amylopectin in experiments) is somewhat limited, I recommend using your symptoms as a guide. If reheating creates a problem, go back to fresh.Good luck with the diet and I look forward to reading your review.
