Dr. Allen Thomas "Tom" Maiolo

Dr. Allen Thomas "Tom" Maiolo, a beloved husband, father, papa, and respected veterinarian, passed away peacefully on October 7th, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. He was 76 years old. Dr. Maiolo dedicated his life to caring for others. For decades, he served the community through his veterinary practice, known not only for his skill and compassion but also for his kindness toward every person and pet who walked through his door. His deep sense of service extended far beyond his profession — he gave selflessly to neighbors, friends, and anyone he met that was in need, always ready to lend a hand where it was needed most.

While his work and community involvement touched many lives, Dr. Maiolo’s greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted husband. A loving father who cherished every moment spent with his children and a proud papa whose face lit up at the laughter of his grandchildren. Whether it was cheering at a ballgame, sharing a meal, or simply offering his wisdom and warmth, his presence made those around him feel deeply loved and valued.

Dr. Maiolo’s faith was the foundation of his life. He lived each day with gratitude, humility, and an unwavering trust in God. His life was rooted in Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior and this was evidenced in his life by his knowledge of the scriptures, devotion to his Lord, and his beautiful display of the Fruit of the spirit.

Dr. Maiolo will be remembered not only for the lives he healed and the kindness he gave, but for the way he loved — deeply, selflessly, and faithfully.
