To the Castano family,
I was so sad to hear about Tommy passing away. My deepest sympathies to all of his family.
My mom Jennie and Tommy's mom were first cousins. In fact they were more like sisters. That being said, when we were young children we spent many good times together with our families.
When Tommy's uncle got married, we were in his wedding party. Tom was the ring bearer and I was the flower girl! that is a special memory I have of Tommy!
Please accept my condolences and God Bless.

Yesterday while visiting with my high school friends (of Lodi) I heard the sad news about Tommy. I remember him so well, so handsome, caring, all-around student/athlete and a friend to everyone.
My sincerest condolences to his family.

It is never easy to say goodbye to those we love. Especially to a wonderful husband and father. Tom had such a big heart and his love for his family was evident in his actions. So many times he volunteered to drive Liz and Diane ice skating, the movies or the mall when they were kids, often dropping off and picking up which was above and beyond, but that was the kind of person he was. I am so sorry for your loss

To the family of Tom Castano:
My maiden name was Jo-Ann Catalioto and I went to St. Joseph's School in Lodi, with Tom. As a matter of fact,for our Kindergarten graduation, it was an honor to be chosen to be Pastor & Sister Superior and do a re-enactment for our graduating class. My mom has the picture and what a doll face he was. We went on to HS and I can just see his smiling face in front of me, beauty mark & all. What a great person he was. I am deeply saddened and I'm sure he was a great husband, father & grandfather. You have my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
Jo-Ann
