As were others I was shocked to hear that Tom had died. I know what Tom did for the many Massawepie Campers and especially the adult Leaders who attended camp. His dedication, persistence, and introduction of the online merit badge sign-up system made camp a better experience for all. But he will be missed not so much for what he did but for who he was, a caring man who helped others and asked for no return.

Whenever we sing Scout Vespers we remember Scouters such as Tom.

Thank you Tom.

Dear Molinari Family:
Words cannot express how stunned I was when I received a call from Bob Zogby last week to tell me that Tom had passed. It's been a long time since we crossed paths....it's too bad the miles between get in the way of staying in touch with good old friends. As Jim Francisco mentioned, we had quite the bond as we all grew up together. As I think back now, Tom was definitely the ring leader that created and nurtured this bond. Whether it be our marathon Monopoly games, baseball games against other neighborhoods, or four square games in the street; Tom was the one who made it happen. (After drying the dishes....of course) These are memories I will never forget. A great person has left us but his spirit will always remain. Please know that my family's thought's & prayer's are with you during this time. He will be missed.

Dear Molinari Family~
I worked with Tom as a fellow BSA volunteer. He was one of the most sincere, caring people I know. Please accept my sympathies for your loss. Tom will certainly be missed by us all.

Dear Nora, Megan and Dan, I was so taken aback when I was told about the passing of Tom. I worked with Tom for 15 years at Kodak and also knew his father when I was just starting out at Kodak. Although me and Tom had our differences at times, I always considered him a friend. He always had time to help others and whatever he did he threw his whole being into doing the job and doing it right. And I can't tell you how much he loved his Boy Scouts.
He will be sorely missed...

Nora, Megan and Dan;
I was stunned when I heard about Tom, especially since I had just been communicating with him about our Eagle service projects from so many years ago. I have so many fond memories of our days growing up together in our "gang" with Bob, George and Steve. The photo of us in our godfather getups (yes the one that was posted on the front of my table at my wedding reception!) is ingrained in my memory and is symbolic of the fun we had and the bond we shared. I am also so proud of the way he has supported my old Troop 356 and kept me in touch with what they are doing. I am now my son's Cub Master (yes, we started much later than you!) and hope to accomplish at least a small portion of what Tom has done for scouting! I had every intention of attending Tom's memorial service today but due to events beyond my control I am unable to make the trip. My family's love and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

With our deepest sympathy,
Jim, Susan, Emily, Jen and Matt Francisco

Dear Nora, Megan, and Dan,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. I just learned of your loss and my heart goes out to you all. He was a VERY special person and my memories of him are and will always remain heartfelt and of happy times. His memory will surely live on as strongly and as beautifully as his spirit was in life. May you find comfort and peace in the days to come, I wish you all the best.

Tom did an incredible job of developing the merit badge sign-up system over the years for the Massawepie Scout Camps. It was first a very labor-intensive manual system (his labor!). Later he pushed hard to transfer to the current electronic system. Tom's efforts made the camp experience smoother for thousands of Boy Scouts and their leaders. He will be sorely missed.

Nora, I worked with Tom in APS and I am proud to say he was a VERY good friend. My family and I relocated to North Carolina last year but Tom and I still E-mailed each other weekly. I know Tom loved his family very much and he really enjoyed working with the Scouts. My prayers are with you and your family and Iam so sorry that I can't be there to say goodbye to a good friend.......

Dear Norah, Megan, and Danny,
I worked with Tom at Kodak in Bldg. 642. I was also sitting behind you at the basball game Kodak sponsored. He was a very dear friend, and a wonderful person. He was my trainer when I first started in 642. He also worked with my nephews when they were in Boy scouts. I can't tell you how much his loss will be felt. He touched a lot of people's lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Norah and family,

Camille let me know about Tom ... I am so shocked and sorry to hear of his passing. As soon as Camille e-mailed me all I could remember what a jovial and happy guy and how Bob and Tom as best friends were so much like each other and Tom always was over the house doing things with Bob when we were young and what clowns they were. It is especially sad when one is gone before the Xmas holiday but I know Tom will be there with all of you in spirit

Sincerely
Mary Lou

Oh death! You separate those who are joined to each other in marriage. You harshly and cruelly divide those whom friendship unites. But your power is broken. Your heinous yoke has been destoyed by the One who sternly theatened you when Hosea cried out, "O death, I shall be your death!" And with the words of the Apostle, we too, deride you: "O death, where is your victory? Oh death, where is your sting?"

From Epistle 19 of St. Braulio, Bishop of Zaragosa

To Norah, Megan and Danny. So sorry to hear about your dad. I have many fond memories growing up next to you guys. I'm sorry to say that I know what it's like to lose a parent. Time will help mend, but will never lose the memories. Just look for the brightest star in the sky next to my mom.
