Tom was engaged in both life and conversation. He was witty and kind. I truly enjoyed his company and his opinionated view on numerous topics big and small. Auntie Andrea my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Tom was very dear to the Servideo family and it is utterly shocking to hear of his passing. Over the years I found joy in sharing recipes, hanging out by the pool, and laughing amongst family and friends, he will be sincerely missed. May those that were close to him find comfort in loving memories.

Tom, my good friend, you have left us too soon. Your boat is not yet wet and there are tuna to catch. My head is so full of memories. We go back to the beginning. I will always have those and for that I am grateful. We had each other's back through thick and thin. Time and geography got between us but we were never more than a call apart. I will miss our debates and you so.
Andrea you were the best thing that ever happened to Tom. How he loved you. Our hearts are with you now.
RIP Bird Dog!
