Dear Aunt Flo, Cousin Ann and Diane,
As a young boy growing up in New Haven Toms Father my Uncle Harry was my favorite Uncle he and Aunt Flo helped raise me and instilled in me great traits which helped me chose the right path to manhood.
I can still remember our early childhood days on Whalley Avenue and in Westville and in Woodmont with Uncle Harry taking me to Yankee and Dodger baseball games and Aunt Flo and my mother taking me shopping.

Although we only knew Tom from a Few Family Picnics and get-to-gethers after having moved to Florida over 40 years ago I know he was a great Father just like his Dad Uncle Harry.

Rosemary and I are dedicating a Mass at our local Church St Rita here in Wellinton, FL in his memory.

We know that the Almighty will keep Tom in Heaven where we all join him. We grieve for his loss with Diane and his 5 wonderful children and many grandchildren. We are sorry we could not come to his Final Services.

Love you All

God Bless you all.

As a young boy Tom's Father my uncle Harry was my favorite Uncle and his mom my Aunt Florinda. They helped raise me and as I grew up and moved to florida to raise my family.
At family reunions I met my cousin Tom in CT and now reading about his wonderful wife and 5 children and many grandchildren, can only offer condolences to his wonderful wife Diane and family.

Rosemary and I are sorry we did not get to know you all better since moving to Florida 40 years ago but know that Tom rests with the Almighty and pray for his family. Al & Rosemary Paglia

Tom and I frequented some of the same sports boards, him a Yankee fanatic and me a RS fanatic. You might have thought we'd disagree, but not really. I loved to read everything that he wrote. Even when I didn't like to hear it, I seldom disagreed. A great guy and I will miss him very, very much.
