Tommy and I were boyhood friends. Met at the Germantown YMCA and thru sports, at which he excelled, were his way up in the world. We met again in the mid 80’s when he stayed with me in D.C. I grieve missing him but am content in knowing that he had a family and offspring. A marvel of an athlete he generously gave me space to develop.

Tommy was a friend from my teen years, a multi-talented athlete who made his way up in the world, for a time taking me with him, on the wing of his talent. We saw each other for a few months in the mid-1980’s in D.C. and then I lost track. It is a source of real disappointment that I only found him through this brief obituary. There is, however, real satisfaction in knowing he had a family.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
