Thomas S. Fanara Sr.

Having just joined a Little Tikes Alumni group, I'm just reading of Tom's passing. I worked with Tom for several years in the Hudson Plant...he was one of my favorite people at work. The energy, his sense of humor, and always called me Lotus Blossom, I'll never forget that! I think he thought of me as one of his kids at work! I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing he was a wonderful man! Thanks for all the talks and advice Tom, you were always a teddy bear in disguise...

Every day I think of you. Every day I miss you. Words cannot describe how different life is without you in it.

Tom kept work very interesting. Meetings were fun, sometimes intense-but I always found his teddy bear smile at some point that always made me smile. Tom was family @ Little Tikes, a truely extended family that continues to bring people together. He is definitely missed by many!

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

My sympathy to his family for they're loss. I worked for Little Tikes for almost 14 years and knew Tom well, when I transferred to LTW he came out to help with the new facility and always knew what to do, without his help my job would have been so much harder. Tom was always a friend, associate and as mentioned several times, the "Go to Guy". He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in Peace Tom!

I am saddened about Tom's passing, but memories of him make me smile. I began working with Tom in 1984. I liked him a lot. He never yelled at me but I could hear from my cubicle Tom explaining to others exactly what he wanted and the right way to do it. He had passion for his work and pride in Little Tikes. No one doubted he cared. May you find some comfort knowing so many have these fond memories of him. Tom, you are unforgettable. Be at peace.

Dear Kathy,

I was sad to hear the news from Carl of Tom's passing. It has been many years since I worked with Tom and we visited with you and the children. But I will always remember the bond you had. Tom was a terrific guy, tough on the outside but a marshmallow inside. If you were lucky enough to have him as your friend you always knew he had your "back".
Blessings to you and your Family

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
