Thomas DiMaria

Tommy was an incredible person. I met him at Joeys and he sang his heart out and we talked and he always was so sweet and caring. And Tommy lived his mom and always always took care of her. Tommy and I had an incredible friendship and I will never forget him or his heart I will miss you my dear friend but I am so glad I had the opportunity to spend so much time with you and make and share such wonderful memories. Rest in Peace

Not many a day goes by that I don't think of my good friend of over 50 years, as I opened this email this am I can't help but to think of all the many times we sat together remembering all our adventures that we had shared.
Tommy was a unique and complicated man with many hopes and dreams.
Rest peacefully my dear friend.

Mrs. "Di", Diana,

I can remember it like it was yesterday when Tommy, Bruce and myself picked up Diana from the airport to surprise you and Mr. "Di" that was back in the late '60's. I have a lot of fond memories of playing crazy eights in dining room, long talks w/Tommy and running into him at various places through the years.
I am so sorry for his passing and I can also say without hesitation; He loved all of you....Kathy Loveland (Formally Shortino)

My condolences to Tommy's family. Rest in peace Tommy.

I will always remember you for your thoughtfulness and kindness as well as your sense of humor. Oh those jokes! You were the best drummer and you always sang my favorite song when you played with Muzzy and when you had your own group, "How Do You Keep the Music Playing".

I will never forget the time you helped me when you were working at Joey's and the valet went home with my car keys...lol...you were the only one who cared enough to help....I will miss you...rest in peace

I have just got home from Tommy's funeral and finished reading all the heartfelt messages that everyone wrote.
When I first viewed Tommy today I couldn't help but notice that there was a slight smile on his face, we all knew Tommy was quick with a joke and loved to fool around-----I almost thought he would situp and say, gotcha,
of course that was not to be, my friend of almost 50 years has joined all those souls that have gone before, he closed his eyes in this world and opened...

It is with deep sadness that I lose a member of my family. Tommy is , and will always be my "crazy cousin". Tommy's Mom and Dad, Tessy and Thomas, are my God parents, and I always hold them all close to my heart. Since Uncle Tommy's passing in 1977, Tommy was true to his dad, and always took care of his mom. His sad and well too early passing has left another hole in the hearts of us all. We will all miss you Tommy, but don't worry, we will all watch over your Mom from here, and you and...
