Dear Sue,
To you and your family my deepest sympathy.
I remember your Dad in a different way then perhaps most other acquaintances.
Years ago, as the Chairperson of the OPEIU Negotiating/Grievance Committee our paths did cross (along with Dick Reid) at times.
I always found your Dad to be calm, level headed, and personable.
Take the time to remember the memories, and I hope that will sustain you and make your grieving period a shorter one.

To The Family of "Coach" Fortunato:
I will always remember Coach Fortunato as a good energenic person with a passion for baseball and team work. I had a great 2 yrs playing for Coach Fotunato and North Forest.
Coach. I'll always remember you!!

We are so sorry to hear about Tom. No one can take away the pain you all are feeling right now, but in time we hope it will ease with fun memories of what a great dad, husband, and grandfather he was. Please know our thoughts are with you.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I spent many years as a coach in Quad County baseball. (District 5 A.A) I always respected Tom as a coach and as a person. Tom was also a customer of ours at the former Eagle Cleaners store in Orchard Park. Tom would come in and we always would talk about our love for baseball. He will be truly missed by his baseball family. Although I now reside in Florida, I will never forget my friends in the great Buffalo area. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Mrs. Forunato,
I was so sorry to hear of Tom's death. I've only known Tom for a short time from the St. Francis Foundation Board, but found Tom to be an extremely knowledgeable and friendly person. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Ann and I express our shock and deepest sympathy to Pat and the family. We were with Tom at Jed deCastro's funeral and he was his animated old self. I have many fond memories of Tom from our days at Jaeckle, Fleischmann with Jed and Larry Wagner. Our prayers are with you all.
