Thomas Attinello Obituary
A proud graduate of Easton High School's Class of 1971, Thomas continued his education at Wyoming Seminary and later attended North Carolina State. Tom thrived in the hospitality industry. With an innate charisma and a natural flair for connecting with people, Thomas successfully ran numerous restaurants and nightclubs over the years. His presence was magnetic-he carried himself with the charm of a seasoned maitre d', always ready to welcome guests with warmth and enthusiasm.
Thomas had an uncanny ability to make people feel seen and appreciated. Whether through heartfelt conversations or his signature storytelling-often laced with just enough embellishment to keep listeners guessing-he brought joy and laughter into countless lives. His quick wit and great sense of humor were matched only by his generosity; those who knew him well often said he would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation.
Outside of work, Thomas enjoyed life's pleasures to the fullest. He loved reading and watching television, spending time at the casino, savoring fine food, and socializing with friends old and new. These passions reflected his zest for life and his appreciation for good company and good times.
Thomas was deeply connected to his family. He is lovingly remembered by his brothers: Joseph Attinello and his partner Linda; Mark Attinello and his wife Queenie; and James Attinello and his wife Kathy. He also leaves behind nieces and nephews who brought joy to his life: Joe Jr., Tina, Nina, Andrea, Katy, and Cindy.
He was preceded in death by his father Thomas Attinello Jr., mother Elizabeth Attinello, sister Annette Attinello, and significant other Kim Beidleman.
Thomas's unique spirit touched many lives. His memory will live on in the stories shared among friends and family-the kind that bring both laughter and tears and in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

Tommy will be missed by all, Tommy had a lot of friends, many of which probably don´t even know of his passing. RIP TOMMY, I enjoyed taking your SNACK LIST when you needed someone to reach out to when you were at Gracedale and Jewel which included Large Snickers Bars, Big Payday Bars and shelless Pistachios along with many more healthy snacks. (lol) Tommy was always there for my sister Kim before her passing, Kim´s nickname by Tommy was Bunny. Kim and Tom are now together in eternity..Tommy lived his life in the fast lane, finally slowing down in the last couple years. Godbless Tommy, Family and all his many friends. Tommy stories will live on forever.

Mark and Family,
I´m so sorry to hear about Tom´s passing..
I was in his company many times over the years and I could just sit and listen to his stories!
No doubt Tommy could have written a "true" best seller!!
He knowledge never ceased to amaze me..
He was my Cousin Kim´s partner until she passed and they cared for each other greatly..
I will say this that the Universe will never get another person like Tommy, he was 1 in a trillion!
RIP Tommy!
Steph
