Tommy we will miss you. As a little kid you were always my big, cool cousin! My dad would take me to visit your mom at least twice a week. I always ended up in the basement playing with your trains and dreaming. There was always a car engine sitting on a table that you were working on. As a small kid I thought it was so cool! You will be missed. Dolores, Tom, Kathy & Al and Gianna - You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are very sad that we cannot be there to grieve and celebrate his wonderful life! Hugs from Ron, Sharon & Alice Cheich

Tom was a prince of a man. I knew him well back in the from the 80s until I retired from Ford in 2004. He was such a calming influence as a steward. I admired his people skills and his integrity. I feel I wasted what could have been a lifelong friendship by not keeping in touch after my retirement... my loss. Rest in peace Tom.

At the Ford Plant Tom was well liked and respected as a conscientious and hard worker by supervisors and fellow workers. He was a good man (sorry I cannot see him off because of the Covid situation).

When visiting my Aunt Martha, on E. 131st Street, I could not wait for my cousin Tommy run his train set for me. As an 8 year old I was so excited to have him show me how every thing worked. It was Christmas all over again! When visiting him in Seven Hills, there it was, his NYC diesel, in a display case, for all to see, on his family room wall. I remember Tommy giving me a ride in his first car. We went over to a side street, at which point I just remember flying down that street. It didn't take much to impress a 14 year old. These are two memories of my cousin Tommy that I will always cherish, and especially his great attitude and smile. I know he will be sincerely missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing and loving him.
