Thomas Patrick Leyden

Wow!! What a loss. Fran and I met the Leyden family 40 years ago in Westport. Tom was one of our dearest friends. While we only shared a few years with Tom, he made an enormous impact on all 6 members of the De Santis family. Tom was at all the athletic events, sponsor of our youngest son in Confirmation, great help with all matters pertaining Assumption School and Church, great source of humor and fun!!! We all remember the 4th of July parties at our house on Fairfield Beach Road and...

The loss of Big Red is immeasurable to all who knew and loved him. His smile and his personality were big and beautiful and irreplaceable. My heart hurts for the whole family, and I am sending all my love during this tough time. Xoxo

So sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

My sympathy and prayers to Tom's family. I had the good fortune to work for Tom at OSi Specialties. Tom's passion, dedication, and vision not on made OSi a wonderful business, but along the way he challenged everyone around him to go beyond what was expected, and in the process built a better team than we ever imagined. He changed so many of our lives. May you find peace in Tom's love and memories. God bless you in this time of sorrow.

Very sorry for your loss.
He and the family are in my prayers.

Vacations, the beach, Red Alert, Trains, The measuring wall, fishing, roasting marshmallows, the tape recorder, home movies, the stories, the humor, a big bear paw handshake and hug, that smile. RIP Uncle Tom, you will be missed, always loved and never forgotten.

Rojo Grande was a father to me who always held me accountable but cared and took a genuine interest in my life and the lives of my family. I am forever grateful to be part of the Leyden family.

Love to all and may he rest in peace & power.

In completing this template above, under relationship, I had a hard time picking one that truly reflected my relationship with Big Red. I chose coworker, but we were so much more.

It's hard to believe I won't see Big Red again at 6 Bradley for our "talks" on the back patio. Mary-Lisa and I really enjoyed them with you and Rita. I will never forget, though, you confidence in me from a young age at Union Carbide. You were my mentor in business and I will always refer / remember you...
