He was one of a kind , My husband and I loved talking to Tommy at the counter at Franks and enjoyed immensely Joey's attempts to ban him on an almost daily basis . He loved life and was a lot of fun to be around . A conservative thinker that respected my differing opinions . We will miss you and your love .

I remember Mr. DeSeno from when I was a child. I am a former neighbor and childhood friend of his daughter, Jeana. After a busy day at work, he would come home and great us with a smile as we played in his yard. He always made me feel welcome. My sincere condolences to the family. May you rest in peace, Mr. DeSeno!

There isn't room here to say it all. I am very disappointed that I missed the viewing and service for Tommy.
We had great chats at Franks and he always reminded me of the escape from Manor By the Sea. He was a hard-working conservative thinker and I will always love and respect his legacy. Tommy's love of his country is legendary and I was fully aware of his dismay at the current situation.
I wish his entire family sincere condolences. If there is anything I can do to make up for...

Tommy was a character but tops in his business. For over 40 years, he took care of things and it was quite an interesting experience working with him. My condolences to the DeSeno family.
