Uncle Tom was a terrific guy. I especially enjoyed sharing breakfast with him, my dad and George at the Hilton diner. He is deeply missed.

He was my dad’s best friend. His motto was God first. He prayed the rosary, went to daily mass and did everything he could to save souls. He should be canonized a Saint by 2035.

Chuck, Pat, Bruce, Larry, & Chrissy, Dad, Uncle Dan and all of the Mance family and friends I send my deepest sympathy.
Uncle Tom was such an awesome uncle who I know everyone will miss very much. He was kind, loving, caring, courageous, funny, faithful, devot christian. I know my father looked up to him and his other older brothers very much. Every year when it came time for his birthday or dad's they would give each other these funny cards that just showed what a sense of humor he had. I always loved hearing the stories he used tell especially about Grandpa Amie. One of my favorites is when grandpa would back out of Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally's house on East Ave without looking back. I know he is watching over all us and he is with Aunt Sally Grandma and Grandpa Amie, and Uncle Jim.
Love Sarah Amie

Chuck & Terry, Pat, Bruce, Larry & Joyce, Chrissy, and family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Tom. We wish we were able to make the trip to Rochester for his funeral, but unfortunately are unable to do so. We plan to have a mass said for him in our home parish, St. Thomas of Villanova Parish in Wilmington MA. He will be greatly missed, as I have a lot of fond memories of my childhood with him. My favorite being on one particular 4th of July when he jumped into the pool with his bathrobe, hat, and cigar in his mouth. He was a wonderful uncle to all of us nieces and nephews. We will miss him. Love, Bill and family

I will always remember Uncle Tom as a very sweet, warm, kind-hearted man. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet & visit with Uncle Tom. It's only the fact that we live 400 miles away that I didn't get a chance to get to know him better, & wish I had more opportunity to do so. I met Uncle Tom the very first time Bill took me home to meet his family in February 1999 and my memories of him will always remain as an extremely welcoming, warm individual who went out of his way to really make me feel comfortable and welcome in his home. For that, I will always be grateful. I am so glad & thankful that Uncle Tom not only made the grueling trip out to Boston to attend our wedding, but also for the fact that he had an opportunity to see and meet our children, Will & Francesca. May he rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord and be joyfully reunited with his beloved wife, Aunt Sally. Thank you again Uncle Tom for welcoming me so warmly. You will never be forgotten. And to the entire family, I extend my deepest sympathy. Love and Prayers, Kim Mance (Bill's wife)

Grandpa Mance was an amazing man. I enjoyed talking to him about his experiences in the military as well as my own. He was kind-hearted and he had a family to be proud of.

Tom is and will always be a very gentle gentleman. I got to know Tom nearly six years ago waiting on he and his best buddy George Kluth. I always looked forward to seeing Tom and George on Tues and Thursdays....when Tom was unable to come anymore, I was deeply saddened and missed him genuinely and his bowl of oatmeal. Now I am even more saddened at his passing. My heart goes out to all of your family Tom and many friends. May you be happy and healthy again up in the heavens.......

Deepest sympathies for the entire Mance family. Although I never worked with Tom at Kodak, I heard many great things about him for many years after his retirement. May God Bless you all in this difficult time and embrace his soul in His Kingdom.

Uncled Tom Mance was always someone I really looked up to from afar. I always loved his gentle nature, his positive outlook on life, the smell of his cigars, and the deep love he had for his kids and Aunt Sally.
My Mother (Lucille Redick Bower), who was Aunt Sally's beloved sister, always said "they don't come any better than Tom Mance".
My deepest sympathy and regrets to Chuck, Pat, Bruce, Larry, Chris, and the entire Mance family.
