On Friday evening, a number of neighbors gathered for a potluck at Saint Francis House to remember Father Tom Composto who passed away about this time last year. It was a small gathering but some of those present remembered him fondly. Rose, a long time neighbor, remembered that Tom would yell at the drug dealers plying their trade near St. Francis Center. He would call the cops on them but the dealers would never retaliate against him because they respected him.
