As a child, he moved to New London County with his family. Early in his career, Tom worked as a district supervisor for Cumberland Farms in Fort Lauderdale, where he spent many years. After moving back to Connecticut, he worked as the owner and operator of Heroes Café in New London, and completed his working career as a dispatcher at Curtin Livery.

Tom is predeceased by his mother Mary J. Gaudio; and his fathers, Nicholas F. Gaudio Sr. and William R. Hawley Sr. He is survived by several siblings, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews; and many cherished friends.

Tom will be remembered with so much love in our hearts. A private memorial service for family and friends is planned for the future.

I knew Tom from 1st year at NFA and we had some good times at the library with a couple of older classmates we met. I'm sorry I lost contact with him and am sorry to hear he has died. He was a great guy when I knew him.
