To Steve, Kaycee, Tom III and Marty I am so sorry for your loss. My brother Tom, your Dad loved you so much even through the not the best of tmes his love for you never waivered. I was very fortunate to have had a brother who against all odds raised me with same tough skin that we all have today. And thank you Kathy for taking and loving him with such care. Tom was everything a sister would want in a brother and more. He taught me so many life lessons. And even when we would go without talking for a while, when we would see each other, it was as if it were yesterday. He laughed at me, reprimand me, cried with me but never did he stop loving me. Now Tom you can ride that Harley as far as the road in the sky is forever open. I know you're with dad now and are at peace. Tom, I love you and forever will miss you. You will always be my hero, and no words or gesture will ever replace the depth of love and gratitude that I have for you. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have had you as my brother. I'm proud of you. You did really good as a brother, a father, an uncle, a husband and you were definitely our father's son. Thank you for leaving a legacy that will be carried on by your children and grandchildren Rylee, Tom IV, Kylee, Joey, Lil Steve, Big Steve, Kaycee, Thomas III and Marty Fitzpatrick.

I love you, your lil sis Kelly

To my Brother Tom please rest in peace...I have many great memories of our times in younger years specifically you playing Little League Baseball (you were a scrappy catcher) for Dad as Coach...and the days we were all (Joe, Michael and myself) caddying at Dedham Country and Polo Club a fun time. Lastly, I recall you were the hardest worker of all siblings splitting firewood on Madison Street for Dad´s Tree Business...Again, RIP

My deepest and most sincere condolences to all the friends and family whose lives you touched. While only having had the pleasure of meeting you once, I'm grateful I had the opportunity to shake your hand and share an event with your amazing family. Rest easy and know your memory lives on in all those beautiful kids of yours's.
