He was one of a kind , My husband and I loved talking to Tommy at the counter at Franks and enjoyed immensely Joey's attempts to ban him on an almost daily basis . He loved life and was a lot of fun to be around . A conservative thinker that respected my differing opinions . We will miss you and your love .

I remember Mr. DeSeno from when I was a child. I am a former neighbor and childhood friend of his daughter, Jeana. After a busy day at work, he would come home and great us with a smile as we played in his yard. He always made me feel welcome. My sincere condolences to the family. May you rest in peace, Mr. DeSeno!

There isn't room here to say it all. I am very disappointed that I missed the viewing and service for Tommy.
We had great chats at Franks and he always reminded me of the escape from Manor By the Sea. He was a hard-working conservative thinker and I will always love and respect his legacy. Tommy's love of his country is legendary and I was fully aware of his dismay at the current situation.
I wish his entire family sincere condolences. If there is anything I can do to make up for lost time, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Many blessings.

One of my all time favorites from 'home'! So many great memories of Tommy at Franks, but especially at Mt. Carmel. Every Sunday he would tell us "it doesn't matter what you do all week, as long as you are here every Sunday!" Sympathy to his family, too young to go. May he rest in peace.

To The DeSeno Family
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Tommy. We met Tommy during our High School Days at APHS in the 50's. He always had that
wonderful smile and always had time to sit and talk no matter how busy
he was. He will be missed and may he rest in peace.

Tommy was truly one of a kind. I will miss him coming into Midway and saying, "Hey girl, what's going on?." He was always quick with a joke and always tried to make you smile no matter what was going on in your life. Tommy, it is your turn to fly high with the angels, I will miss you! Prayers to your family.

Tommy, I always enjoyed our conversations at the counter at Frank's Deli. The best tank removal guy around. Rest peacefully.

Tommy was a good man. I've known Tommy for over 50 years. I would see him in church at Mt Carmel every Sunday. We lived around the corner from each other. He was our oilman in the beginning. Later in life our paths crossed again as the iceman. Finally, we would meet each other as he looked for buried oil tanks on property for my clients. In every instance, Tommy was helpful. He will be missed. He will now walk in the shadow of our lord. May he rest in peace.
