Thomas E. Coty

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Bernie, Pat and Brian - as is often the case, I regret not keeping in closer touch over the years. My memories of Tom are from many years ago, yet he so obviously remained the funny, warm and upbeat guy that I remember from our youth. You were so lucky to have had him - treasure the memories, and trust in the fact that he is at peace with our God.....

It was my good fortune to grow up with the Coty family in the 60's.

The Veterans Golf Course and surroundings was our Kingdom in 16-Acres, Springfield. We fished, golfed, played baseball, football, hockey and raised hell on occasion. Mix in The Beatles and you have a recipe for a charmed life.

Best wishes to Bonnie, Patrick, Brian, Ellen, Matt, Mark, and Jimmy.

Tom was simply a great guy. I will think of him forever.

Sorry to hear about Tom's passing. I have not kept in touch and feel bad about that. We were much closer in our youth. Cousin Walter Misco.

Dear Cody Family,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I am having a mass said down here in Florida for your dad, Pat. A donation will be made in his honor at the Make a Wish Foundation.

Bonnie, Pat,and Brian,
My condolences to all of you, Tom was a terrific person and of course, “The Coolest” guy I will ever know. Tom’s summer “birthday” picnics were a fun get together. I am sure that he is in heaven strumming his guitar. Take care and may Tom rest in peace.

Dear Coty Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Tom. Tom and I worked on the same team for several years. It was either me following Tom home to Southwick or Tom following me. We would wave to each other at all the red lights we'd be stuck at. I will miss discussing the traffic situations on 57 and the South End Bridge with him. I also sat over the wall from Tom and would enjoy his stories about his sons – one I will never forget entailed how one of his sons helped the police chase down...

Brian,
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please keep in mind that now that the battle is over your Dad is no longer suffering. Please extend my condolence to your family.

Dear Bonnie, Pat and Brian,

I worked with Tom at MassMutual and often went to lunch with him at the cafeteria. He always talked about sports, his kitchen garden and his boys. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
