Thomas Lattanzio

Growing up in a Police family, I have learned that brothers become family, coworkers become family, even friends become family. Tommy, I am truly sorry I never got the honor or privilege to meet you or get to know you. From the stories I have heard from your fellow brothers and sisters in blue, you were an amazing officer. Gave the job 110% of your efforts and were proud to wear our uniform. There was a time when you worked for my Dad. When I asked him about you, he spoke extremely highly...

When me and my brother got into a hit and run, Officer Lattanzio was the responding officer to the call. I did not know him on a personal level but I consider any Bridgeport police officer a part of my family because my dad was a Bridgeport Detective. I burst into tears at work when I found out it was him who passed. When he showed up to my house my brother him and I stood outside my house for almost 2 hours talking. We talked about what my brother and I wanted to do with our futures, we...

Tom, Growing up you were my big brother.

Later on you would tell me how you had made it through the academy, and how you were going to...

Tommy , I know that you are now realizing how many lives that you made such a profound impact on. I can say that I am very blessed to call you a friend and brother. You carried yourself with honor and respect and always looked your best. You wore that uniform like no one else could , with such respect to that badge and patch you wore so proudly . You work ethic will not be matched and I used to watch and admire your relentless effort while you were at work . You gave every last bit of...

When I read that Tom was (still) an avid concertgoer, it brought back memories of the Genesis concert that I went to with Tom & my sister Diane & brother David, in Worcester, many years ago. Tom was our driver & I certainly felt that we were all in good hands with him taking charge. My condolences to the Lattanzio family. I will always think of Tom fondly.
