All of us at Tedeschi's would like to extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of Tom. He was a great man and will always be remembered by each and every one of us. Every time he came into the store, he had a smile on his face. And every morning we used to get a big laugh out of him when he walked into the store and we all yelled "good morning TomTom", that always got a big chuckle out of him. May God bless all of you in this difficult time.

Dad Conoscienti, It was such a shock to hear you left us, without a chance to say good bye. You were such a special part of our lives. You always went out of your way to make all of us feel so special, and loved. How am I going to be able to drive to Boston without you meeting me somewhere so I don't get lost? We miss you!
P.S don't forget to put a good word in for me!

I'm very saddened to hear of Mr Conoscienti's passing. As a friend of his family for 15 years, he had become like a father to me. I've learned a thing or two under his tutelage. He's given me the privilege of seeing how beautiful this country is on a cross country trip back in 2004 with Thomas, Jr. It started on Father's Day where we flew to meet up with him. We drove from Las Vegas to California, Mexico, and all the way back to Quincy. I'm grateful for these memories and I am thankful for him and his family being in my life. Goodbye, Mr. Conoscienti, you and your family will always have a special place in my heart.
My love and sincere condolences to the Conoscienti family.
Thomas M. Mac Neill
