My heart felt sympathy to Tom´s wife Marie and his entire family.
Tom and I worked together for a number of years, he was the most productive salesman I have ever worked with. He was a joy to be around, he was very intelligent, kind giving, understanding and fun to be with, he made work a pleasure. Over the years though we were not together physically I followed his successes, I never doubted his abilities. Tom´s love of family was always foremost. We all loved Tom.....sadly Rich Howells

Dear Mark and the entire Fiorini Family,

I´m so terribly sorry to hear of this news. I didn´t know Tom was suffering from the same disease that took my Mom at the same age about a year ago. Tom was one of the most unique, genuine, and special people I´ve had the pleasure to know, and will ever know. Tom was someone I´d watched since I was a teenager tagging along with my Mom and Dad to TIA meetings in the 1980s, up until now. And all the way in between, during those 40 years, I watched and admired Tom. Now at age 51, I look back and fondly remember a man who never wavered from his strong principles and love for others. He was a true people´s person. He was funny, kind, humble, caring, competitive, loyal, loving, thoughtful, and honest. As well as we came to know each other over the years, he would still write handwritten letters to me after TIA meetings just to say hello and let me know how glad he was to see me. No ulterior motive, genuine kindness. In the 40 years I knew him, this was his way and he never wavered from staying true to himself, and his family, friends, business colleagues, ethics, beliefs, religion, morals, and to his business and industry he loved with a passion. I will truly miss him and mourn him along with you. He felt like family to me and my family. I wish I had the chance to tell him that, to hug him, and let him know how much I will miss him. In tears and with sympathy and condolences,

Jim Tucker

Mark,
I had no idea that your Dad was suffering with cancer. He was one of the great ones. I always enjoyed his sales calls. I am so very sorry for your loss. When you've been lucky enough to have had great, great parents it is so much harder to lose them. Till you meet again.

Dear Marie and Family,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and the family on the loss of Tom. He was always a very kind, friendly gentleman, who always had a smile on his face. I remember when you bought the house and moved into the neighborhood. My family and I watched as your family grew and how much love Tom put into the home over the years.
Tom took my late husband Carl under his wing all those years ago in Traffic Club and I never forgot that. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
