Thomas Michael Cavaretta

The Streng family is so saddened to hear of Tom's passing. In the past, we would cross paths as he walked his dog in the nearby park and he always had an encouraging word. To my dog's delighthe always had doggie treats also! Tom was definitely Cali's favorite walking friend, though we didn't see him often. He frequently inquired about my son's college experience, and offered to help him in any way in his pharmacy career! So thoughtful! Although we were nearby neighbors we didn't know it, until we met volunteering for Tempe South Little League when my son was 8 years old. (Nick and Joey were several years older) He dedicated so much time to the youth of Tempe! He was so proud of his boys, and often kept us up to date on their achievements! He was witty and funny, with an off-the-cuff wry sense of humor. We will miss you good neighbor! To Marcy, Joey, and Nick, the Streng family is so sorry for your loss! May the Lord comfort you during this time of pain and grief!

Tom, we will miss you in the neighborhood. Thinking of years gone by when the kids all played together.
You and Marcy were so good to include our children and included them in many activities. Happy memories of dinners, camping and boating. Our kids probably never would have gotten to swim in a lake if it hadn't been for your family. God bless you and your family always.

Tom,
I know you will get this message in your new Cestial Palace. I'm sorry we weren't able to complete the third novel in the VAMPIRO TRILOGY work of fiction, but I promise to get it published on our behalf. You were a great friend and co-author. Rest assured if we ever make a dime from our creative collaboration, I'll always be on the
square with Marcy, "Nick the Shiv", and "Joey the Bull". Man, oh man-I'm going to miss you.
-Don W. Hill, M.D.

Tom had a wonderful gift for reaching out to others and I feel fortunate to be one of the people he touched. I can't believe it's been over 20 years since we worked together at Amgen. The memories of his simple decency and wisdom remain fresh with me to this day. Hoping to see you again on the other side Tom...

Tom was my cabin neighbor. He was a great neighbor and we had many good visits. He would help me fix things and I would lend a hand with some of his projects, like when he came up one weekend to redo his treehouse. He loved our Labrador retriever Dazie and would even call her over to his cabin to hang out. I will miss his smile and wit. He was going to teach me how to turn bowls out of juniper, but never got the chance. He did admit to snagging some nice pieces of wood out of my woodpile to turn some bowls with, and then gave me that smile of his. Tom- Vicki and I are going to miss you. Rest In Peace my friend. Marcy, Nick, and Joey, you are in our prayers.

We are very sorry to hear about Tom. We were lucky to get to know him as a friendly, kind neighbor.
Our condolences to the whole family.

Marcy,
I remember you and Tom when I worked in John Williams' office, it was always fun times when the two of you came in to visit. Both Kristin and I are so sad to hear of Tom's passing, what a loss! I wanted you to know that some people just stand out in your memories and Tom was one of those guys. May he rest well and you find peace in having been such a big part of his life. I'm very sorry for you all.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. I met him when he started with Astellas in 2012. He was a very kind man and my heart goes out to his family, friends and his Astellas team mates.

I'm so sorry to hear of Toms passing. I have happy memories of our time together both in Pharma Sales and cycling endless miles.

Sad to hear of Tom's passing. Had met him several times over the years with his work and family. Was always great to spend even a few minutes with him.
Will be missed by all.

Please give mother Teresa my special condolences.

I am so saddened to hear the news about Tom. He was a colleague of mine at Biogen. A terrific guy that was very generous with his time, humor, and his kindness. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

I work for Astellas as well and didn't know Tom personally but his loss seems very hard for his friends and teammates. Seems as though he never met a stranger and was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and friend. Please accept my sincere condolences. He will be deeply missed at Astellas. -Paige Hockman

I'm very sorry...Tom was always such a true friend...

Tom was my former manager at Astellas but most importantly he was my friend for many years - since 1997. Well respected among his peers and a very smart man to be around with. As fiends we loved to cycled till we got tired or had to go home but we always had the best times out on the road/mountains on our bikes. We laughed till our bellies hurt and we ate till they were full. I will miss him dearly. Rest In Peace Tom.

Tom and I were colleagues at Astellas. He was funny, kind and very supportive. I will miss him dearly. May god bless his soul and provide support to his family.

I am so sorry. Tom was such a nice person who made me feel like he truly cared about me. He was someone I would go to for advice or to vent. He was never too busy to listen to me. My heart is broken cause he was an amazing individual. He will be missed!!! Tom and his family will stay in my prayers!!

Tom was a good friend of my son, Mark Townsend. He came to visit him a number of times and I will always be grateful to Tom for his kindness.
May he rest in peace and I offer my condolences to his entire family.
