Does anyone rmember Tommy from Portofino on Front ST?
barcann | Fri, 2008-05-02 18:08
I'm going back years now. Tommy Brookins and his wife Laura owned Portofino restaurant on Front Street. They had the best pizzas ever.
Tommy was quite a character....an African American man who was a professional musician, well known,and had many tales to tell.
Does anyone remember him? Does anyone have any information about when he died?
I know he died and was buried here in SXM. I think around the early 80's.
His wife Laura then moved to the french side and opened a pizza place at the entrance to the Marigot Marina.
Does anyone know what happened to her?
I am in touch with Tommy's great great niece who is doing his biography, and is looking for any stories about him. She need photos also since she has no photos of him. I am sure there must be some photos of Tommy floating around on the island.
If there are any old timers out there, who remember Tommy and have any information or photos , please email me.
