Daniel Tomai Obituary
Daniel Egan Tomai, age 71, of Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at his farm on July 27, 2024.
Devoted husband, loving father of five, philanthropist, entrepreneur and member of the Most Honorable Order of St. John, Dan was a man of virtue, Catholic faith, abundant generosity, industriousness and individuality. Dan prioritized his wife, children, grandchildren and friends, above all else and epitomized integrity, hard work and deep love and protection of family and friends. His spirit was marked by a deep connection to the universe- he howled at the moon, walked barefoot in the snow, swam naked, and watched the sunrise and sunset for energy.
To all who knew him, Dan was a force of nature-a legendary figure, who was always the first to be called upon in times of need, and left every place more beautiful than he found it.
He began his long career in construction in the 1970s and went on to found Signature Construction Group, Inc. in 1990, a successful construction firm, thriving in New York and Connecticut. Dan was a long-time member of The Metropolitan Club of New York City, Tiro A Segno of New York City and, while a resident of Staten Island, the Richmond County Country Club of Staten Island, NY.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Suesan, his five children - Shannon, Natasha, Kristinia, Timothy and Daniel -ten grandchildren, two stepchildren-Jimmy and Micaela, and five siblings-Antoinette, Susan, Thomas, William and Peter. Two of his brothers, James and Timothy, preceded him in death.
He leaves his family and friends with a lifetime of beautiful and lasting memories and traditions, and the deepest sorrow that he left this earth too soon.
A Mass in his honor will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 3rd, at St. Edward the Confessor Roman Catholic Church in Milford, NJ.

It is with the greatest sorrow that we hear of Dan"s passing. Although Dan was a businessman providing construction services to my clients and often we were at odds over issues and completion deadlines or some detail of a contract, I always thought of Dan as an honourable and respectful associate and a true friend. Often our agreements and contracts were only signed with a handshake.Dan breathed and lived Construction and building things. He was a man of his word even if his decision was not befitting his bottom line. He was only satisfied doing the best on every project. Over the years I watched him mentor so many young men who went on to be excellent tradesmen and Construction businessman. I learned a lot about working with people from Dan. My time in New York ended in 1992 but over the years when ever I came back to NYC from our home in Canada, Dan would take time to have drink or share a meal with my wife and I. My wife Linda and I send sincere condolences to his family and rest assured that Dan will live on in our daily thoughts and challenges.
