Thomas M. Cerami, a beloved figure in the Webster community and a dedicated family man, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on December 20, 1944, in Rochester, NY, Thomas' life was shaped by his strong bonds with family, friends, and a long-standing career.
Thomas retired after more than 30 years of service at Eastman Kodak, where he contributed significantly to the company and fostered many enduring relationships throughout his tenure. His commitment to his work was only matched by the devotion he held for his family.
He is survived by his loving spouse, Christine Cerami, who was a steadfast partner throughout their journey together. Thomas leaves behind his cherished children, Todd (Erin) Cerami, Traci (Timothy) Santo, and Troy (Jacqueline) Cerami, who carry forward his legacy of love and kindness. He took great pride in his ten grandchildren: Abigail, Eleanor, Grace, Nina, Emilyn, Calvin, Nathan, Brooklyn, Adelena, and Julianna. They were a source of immense joy and happiness in his life.
Thomas also shared a close bond with his siblings, Mario (Gloria) Cerami and Bettyann Mullins, and proudly watched the next generation grow, including his niece, Jennifer (Paul) Moriera, and nephew, Joseph Cerami. His devoted dog and companion, Nature, stood by him as a loyal friend, providing comfort and companionship.
He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Clara (nee, Dellario) Cerami, whose love and guidance paved the way for his remarkable journey.
Thomas M. Cerami will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family and community, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of all who knew him. His kindness, warmth, and gentle spirit will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
All are welcome to attend Thomas' entombment at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery, on Monday 8/25 at 10am in the Christ Our Light Mausoleum. Please meet at the Mausoleum.
