I´ll keep asking if anyone has seen you around and have a little laugh, knowing that you´re the one seeing all of us around. Your spirit will be with me forever. My love to your family.

A true gentleman. I had many good conversations with Tiago over the years, when he was my hairdresser, both in downtown Hartford, and later in Manchester and South Windsor. He will be missed!

Dear Family Members of Tiago,
I believe Tiago and I grew up together, living on South Washington Street and Willis Avenue in Plainville, CT. Tiago was the most wonderful playmate, when I was a sprout. He and I remained friends, until he began driving, I guess when he was 16. I was too young for him, at this point. I have often thought of him over the years and am so sad that I did not reconnect with him, before he died. I am so very sorry to hear of Tiago’s passing. He was a very special person...and now forever an amazingly special man. With so much love, Barbara Cassidy Phillips

T. was a brother to my late husband, Perrie. They had the best laughs together whether on the phone or in a restaurant or just sitting by the pool. I was grateful to be able to call Tiago my brother too. We shared great times and some hard times together as well. Once in a while we could get him to spout off the ‘time’ from his Marine days, fast and (probably) accurate. For some reason I still think of that spiel. We had so many great times: at the Vineyard when we built our houses together, that wonderful French restaurant in Vineyard Haven. Riding on the bumpy road to the mouth Tashmoo. The parties were the best times-so many wonderful people so many great dinners. Then there were the Pasta Bowls. How much fun were they?! But the times dearest to my heart and maybe his as well were Christmas Eve with both our families together. Life will never be quite the same without by dear brother, T.

I have lost a very dear friend. Tiago has been cutting my hair for more than 40 years. The first time was on St. Patrick's Day. Have sent an anniversary card on that day and ever since. I will miss his radiant smile!

Tiago had been turning my wayward hair into a work of art since I returned to CT in 1976; he was my mother’s stylist even before that. While I only knew him as a client, I shall miss terribly his gallant manner and humble spirit and, of course, that dazzling smile. Tiago did Hartford—and Vidal Sassoon—proud. Now he can enjoy Thanksgiving Day every day.

Tiago was a very special person. Always a gentleman, always kind and caring, and that warm and ready smile! I considered him a friend. He was my stylist for over 30 years- no one else like him! Such a good soul. He will be missed by all that knew him. My condolences to Darin, Gabriella, and Dominic- He loved you all and was very proud of you.

I got my first haircut from Tiago after getting gum in my hair when I was just a little girl. He had to cut it real short. Although I remember crying about it, he was so good to me that day. Years later, when I was 19, my family moved to Connecticut from Florida. I saw Tiago at one of his favorite spots- Franks Restaurant. He greeted me with a big smile and his famous “hey, how you doin?” Long story short, I ended up working with him. It was like walking into a whole new family because that’s how he made everyone feel- like family. That man loved to love. He taught me so much. Some would call me stubborn, but Tiago knew me best. He never gave up on me. Sometimes we would go all year without talking but we always talked in March because our birthdays are 7 days apart. This past January I had the pleasure of working with him again. He is the best man I know and no one will ever cut my hair like he did. I remember the picture on the wall when you walked in his salon of him cutting a woman’s hair on the beach. Anyone that has seen that picture knows what she wasn’t wearing. Seriously speaking, I am so grateful I got to see him July 4th. I will miss him so much. This is definitely a hard hit we will never forget. Tiago was such a kind, loving, generous, forgiving man. We will learn to live without you until we meet again. He would always call me Dor or Honey. Today I am going to say RIP Honey. I love you.

Tiago was a Hartford icon.
He was known about town not only for his artistry, but his mesmerizing smile and laidback charm. He was one of a kind.
In many ways his passing marks the end of an era for those of us who had the opportunity to know him.
RIP.

His smile could light up the world. Tiago did my first haircut and 43 years later, I was still sitting in his chair. There are never the right words when such a soul leaves us too early. If only I get could one more hug. Rest in peace, you will be missed.

Dear Darin and Family,
To say we are so deeply saddened is beyond what we would expect in continuing to live the wonderful times we had together with you Dad, Tiago and other dear friends. Our time with this wonderful and endearing "man or all men".... was cut way to short. Our dear friend Tiago Senna, so many wonderful stories and memories over the years - I will always remember and keep them close to my heart as will others I'm sure. I will miss our weekly dinners together at Salutes in Hartford and all the many Happy Hours and celebrations in-between. With our usually our weekly group of 4 to 5 friends, we would often reminisce about the "same stories", but Tiago would always add just a little different twist to them - that would make them always seem fresh and new! I would say did we hear this before....and he would reply that a great story is always worth repeating! and he was right. I will miss you, my friend. May God speed and keep you
close by. All our Love Forever. Emil and Mary.

My brothers and I grew up in Plainville right down the street from Tiago and his siblings, we were a very close knit bunch of kids. Tiago was a handsome sweet sharp dresser, very respectful and kind. Years later we crossed paths again and he became my hairdresser he never changed a bit! So sorry family for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with all. With fond memories.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tiago since I was 16 and worked at a dry cleaners in East hartford, he knew I was going on to hairdressing school and always told me to call him when I was out, years later I did have the pleasure of working with him for many years. He was one of the nicest men, and such a gentleman that I have ever met. He will be deeply missed by so many, especially that smile!! My thoughts and prayers to his family

I met Tiago on a flight from Chicago to Honolulu about 35 years ago when we sat next to each other. From there, our friendship grew and while we didn’t see each other often (I visited Tiago twice in Hartford and was even lucky enough to have him give me a haircut at his salon on Pratt Street), we always kept in touch. The world would be a far kinder and gentler place if we had more souls like Tiago. Our loss is heaven’s gain. RIP my dear old friend.

Dear Tiago,
My heart goes out to your beloved Darin, Gabriella, Dominic, your family and friends. I am sure their hearts are broken upon your loss I know how much you loved and cherished them all.
You were my friend and brother for over 54 years. From your first day as a hairdresser and my coworker at Gervacio’s, we shared a bond and friendship that transcended work. Whether it was days, months or years since we had last seen other, we could pick it right up from the last time we met. I believed you would always be there and now you’re not. I am so sad. I will miss you beyond words.
I am sure you are up there smiling down on all of us right now. If anyone deserves a front row seat in heaven, it’s you. Your family, friends and the world will miss your love, compassion and that wonderful smile. I promise I’ll keep asking....” have you seen Tiago around?”

Tiago was my hairdresser for 40 years. I always thought, and still do, that Tiago was and is macho and a man with a lot of class. He is one who stands out in a crowd. He was always running late for my appointments but was worth waiting for. I was and am honored to have known Tiago. Darien and Gabriella you guys were so fortunate to have had such a wonderful father who cared for you and stood by you. I'm sure you guys will do well in life by following his footsteps. The name Tiago is a beautiful name for a beautiful man. He always had a smile for me and had a positive attitude. Tiago took great care in cutting and styling my hair. He worked until he was 76 years old, God Bless Him. he did what he wanted to do. He loved his job and also loved his clients. I will truly miss him but am grateful that I had him as my hairdresser. Gabriella and Darien stay well, stand strong, it will get better. You will both be in my prayers. God Bless the both of you.

I have known Tiago for many years as a client and a friend. We often joked about a similar experience we shared in our lives. He was fun to be around and was such a caring and sensitive person. I know he loved and cherished his family and friends and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be sadly missed. His family will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers during this most sorrowful time.
