To the Taverna Family I knew Tommy along with his other brothers and sisters growing up in Cambridge. We used to 'hang out' together. I have great memories of that time and all the fun we had. I'm sorry I didn't know Tom as an adult. Sounds like a lot of people thought the world of him. I will keep him and all of you in my prayers

To the Taverna Family,
Thinking of all of you in these trying times. Tom was a great father, brother and friend and will be greatly missed. He always felt like a brother due to the all the time my own brother. Tim, spent with the family. I am fortunate to be able to look at my front porches that he built for me and smile. He was a true craftsman and left a great legacy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Tom's family and friends during this most difficult time. Tom was a kind and generous neighbor. Despite the fact that we were not personal friends, he always stopped to plow us out. I can only imagine how special he was to the people he loved. If you need anything a neighbor can help with, you can count with us.

I'm saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was the best neighbor you could ask for.
Upon searching online to find where to leave my condolences, I found this article:

I thought it was a perfect example of the kind of person Tom was, to those who knew him
well but also to those who really didn't.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.
