So deeply sadden to see this, and now know Tom has been hanging out in Heaven with my parents and many others for 3 years. Please receive my deepest sympathies on his passing, I had no clue at the time. Time passes but his memory lives on in all of his family, and he was an amazing man, and friend to my family. Blessings to all during this holiday season. I apologize for not seeing this sooner, I bet Tom, KK, Angelo and many others are enjoying their times together again. God bless you all xoxo

Such a wonderful man here in Sarasota. We are so sorry for you Sophia, and Tia and Stephanie. Tom fought so hard on his cancer, and in many ways now, it is better he has to fight no longer. You are such a wonderful family and such a cute dog he always walked. Our best thoughts to you all

I am deeply saddened by Tom's passing. We go back a long way...I had the pleasure of being their children's babysitter way back in the day. I remember my Mom dropping me off or Tom coming to get me to stay at their home while he took Sophia, the love of his life...out for a night on the town...I think I was in 10th grade at Sarasota High then. Sophia and Tom are such special people and their children, too. I will always remember Tom by his effervescent personality, great sense of humor, constant smile and "go for it" attitude. You will be missed Tom...you did so much for your community but your family has always been first in your heart. You are first in ours. We will miss you on this earth but know God has something special in store for us once we leave here. Lots of love to the family. Margi

My sincere condolences to Tom's family, this is a perfect picture of his smile and his attitude in life. He will be missed by many friends in addition to his family. I am grateful to have been called a friend. God bless you all.
