Thomas Edward Placentia

Tom (Tommy), I can't believe it's coming up on four years since you tragically passed on April 29, 2021. We couldn't imagine a more devastating loss until your mother, our beloved sister, left us on July 27, 2024. We take comfort in the belief that you have been joined as one on the other side. Life was never easy but now you are together and forever at peace. Love you, Aunt Sheila

I just found this obit regarding Tom and I was saddened to read about his passing. I knew him when I lived in South Orange County back in the mid-1990s. He was a super nice guy....very talented when it came to property maintenance. He installed my parent's water heater in 1993. My parents were super appreciative of his help. He wouldn't let my dad pay him. My dad gave me the money and I made sure Tom got it. We played basketball a few times and we hung out with friends now and then. We lost touch over the years. My condolences to all of his family members.

Tom truly was a fantastic, sensitive, creative and compassionate soul, role model and influential figure in my life; I am glad to have called him my friend. I wish you were here, Tom; I miss you.

Tom was such a special guy and in such a short time became a very dear friend to me. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about him and missed him.

Gosh I miss you Tom. Thank you for all your friendship..good days bad days every special day you were in my life...was amazing. From day 1 you were such a fantastic friend to me. You made me feel so special. I love you Tom and I miss you until I'm in tears. If you only knew the love we all have for you. Im honored to have met some of your family that Judy loved you to pieces and your mom oh Tom she's such a beautiful gift to have in my life. Just like you. I hope your cheeks are hurting so much from all your smiling up there in heaven. Rest in peaceful paradise my wonderful friend. you'd be so proud of all your wonderful friends they were shot on just like your loving heart. Ill be back to talk soon. Wish i could hear you say...love ya kiddo jyst once more.

Tom, my Munchichi (Munch). No matter what, we stayed connected for 38 years! We have a special kind of love and I don't think my heart will ever beat exactly right again. Because of you I believe in soul mates. I'm sure your infectious giggles are being enjoyed in heaven. See you again one day! Forever in my heart & soul. Your Blue Eyes aka Blue & Buns.
