Tom was a great guy. I loved stopping by his desk at Gateway. No matter what mood I was in, I was leaving with a smile after talking with him. The man would do anything for anyone. Great guy that will be missed by many.

It was such an honor to work with Tom. He was one of the most well respected hardest working individual I have ever been associated with. Senior Dolci will always be remembered.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Dolci family. May God give you strength and help you to remember the happiest of times with Thomas. I was one of Thomas' trainers and managers at Gateway. He was one of my FAVORITE people because he could light up the room and put a smile on your face even on the toughest days. Thomas was one of those people who you knew you were better off for having known. Senor Dolci, God be with you and may you continue to watch over us! We will miss your smile, we will miss your voice, and we will miss you. Much love, my friend...much love.

I am saddened to hear of Tom's passing and his family will be in my prayers. I went to Truman High School with Tom and was also in the production of "Fiddler on the Roof" with him. We also had several classes together, including A Cappella Choir. He had an amazing singing voice and a great sense of humor. I am so pleased to see he had a big family (so many girls!!) I can imagine he was a great dad and grandpa.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a great guy, a good friend and I have always considered him to be a fellow theatre artist. Every once in awhile I tell my students about his exceptional performance in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Truman High School. We had so much fun working together on that production. The bright lights of this world's performing arts burn a bit dimmer with Tom's passing, but I know they are burning even brighter in heaven with his arrival.

Dear Family of Tom

I was shocked to read the untimely passing of Tom. My two boys Joe Potter and Michael Todd Potter will also be shocked as he was one of their best friends and went to Truman High School together. I remember vividly Tom in the role of "Tevia" that Tom so expertly played/portrayed in Fiddler on the Roof a production done at Truman High School. What a loss of such a wonderful talent and he will be missed by many. Our prayers are with you and God Bless you in your time of sorrow.
