Tom was one of the nicest guys' we have ever known. He was much more than our loyal and trusted HVAC go to guy and friend for over 35 years. He was THE MOST Honest and Caring Person who serviced of all our HVAC business needs; those of most of our extended family; and every friend I knew who would take my advice to use his extraordinary services exclusively. He was kind, proud and witty. Tom would love to personally go to my Dad's house back in the eighties and nineties, to service his unit, just to drink his delicious homemade iced tea. My Dad always made sure he made a fresh batch whenever Tom was coming and he always made my father proud of his iced tea. I will miss bugging him on the phone to fly with Bernadette to visit us in Florida to take care of our houses, because he's the only one we trusted. To Bernadette, his children, and his family please accept our prayers and condolences for your loss, from me and my wife Marysia who graduated from St. Joe's with him and knew him even longer than I did. They always shared fond memories about the alumni of St. Joe's on every happy visit to our homes.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of a great big Teddy Bear of a man. Tom was a great businessman, mentor,family man and husband. I always looked forward to our phone chats at work where he gave me the nickname dazed and confused! He always gave the best advice and always told me not to sweat the small stuff. My deepest sympathies go out to his wife Bern and his children and family and soooo many friends. Tom lived his life well and touched so many peoples lives with generosity and kindness and will be sorely missed by so many. Rest in peace Tom. I will miss you.
