Jody, Nick and Tia, my deepest sympathies for your loss. I will always remember Tommy as being one of the coolest guys I ever met, with his leather jacket, black t- shirts, levis and boots! He was great with people and would do anything for a friend. And it seemed everyone was his friend. He helped me out on more than one occasion. I loved working at Lefty's and have lots of happy memories there. Tommy always walked thru the restaurant at the end of a busy night, and said Thanks and Good Job. that meant a lot! He was a one of a kind, for sure. I'm happy to have known him. RIP Tommy

Sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. I have not seen him a long time but he was a good guy all the way back to St. Anthony days.

Tommy was a nice person and a great host. I was a customer at Razz-Ma-Tazz and he was always so kind and funny. He made dinner on Friday nites once in awhile and was a great Chef. We shared a few laughs with my friend and I still remember how he had the place decorated with the jazz items on the walls. May he rest in peace. He is in my thoughts and prayers.

Mann, just found this news out tonight....Tommy aka "MO" because of his diehard love for the Yankees and everytime I had seen him Mariano Rivera was mentioned so that was his name and he called me "Yaz" being a sox fan, after he left GRC and went to elmira college I stayed in touch with him talked to him maybe once a month if I was lucky...2 minutes talking to this man really made ya smile he had an awesome attitude and personality ..one thing that sticks in my mind is how much he was on the phone with his daughter on his lunch breaks and would talk about how much his kids meant to him, my heart breaks for his children. Rest peacefully "Mo" it was a pleasure to meet you pal.

Worked for Tommy at Leftys for almost 8 years. I'll miss him. We had a lot of laughs and some bad times too. He used to tell me "Yanney, acceptance is a wonderful thing" I've used that quote a lot to help me through tough times.

All of us at Punk's Place are saddened by this unexpected loss. Tommy was instrumental in helping me get Punk's going. His wisdom, knowledge and years of experience were invaluable in my transition from Contractor to Restaurant owner. He offered me one year of help and in return I received a life time of experience. Whenever we start to get really busy I always hear one of your favorite expressions, "It's Showtime". RIP Tommy. Your friend..Punk

Another angel has earned his wings but much too soon for all of those he leaves behind. It is with a heavy heart that I extend my sincerest sympathies to the rest of the family on Tommy's passing. It has been many years since I have seen him but I have many fond memories of him when we were kids and I always enjoyed dining at his restaurants with my Dad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

Tommy was brand all his own. I smile remembering the times spent with him. He had a story and a saying for everything. Rest in peace. Condolences and best wishes to "his babies", Nick and Tia, who he loved more than anything.

I was so shocked to read of Tommy's death. My heart and prayers go out to all of you. May the Lord embrace him in peace, and "welcome him into the light of His Face" as we pray in the Mass for those who have died. I will offer a Mass for Tommy here in my parish church of St. Stanislaus, Bradford NY. I always remember him as a joy, friendly person when I served both at St. Mary's, Elmira and Sts. Peter and Paul. May he now know the joy of Heaven. Fr. Pat Connor.

To the D'Aloisio family we are so so sorry for the loss of Tommy. I understand your pain, We lost my mother the very next day on Christmas. Tommy and I go back to elementary school at St. Anthony's. We used to camp out in his back yard on Gildae Place along with John DeOrio. Fun times, great memories. He will surely be missed.

I will always remember how generous Tommy was to our family, especially my daughter. Tommy was like a second father to her. He started her interest in culinary. Tommy loved his children dearly and all their friends. I hope he is at peace finally. He will be missed.
