Dear Louise, Tom, Lisa, Tim and families, I want you to know that I feel very sorry about the passing of Tom who was a great husband and father. He was also a great friend and cousin of mine.
Tom gave me my first job, mentored me through my high school and college years, and was always just a great friend. He always encouraged me and advised to to "go for it". My life, my career and my outlook were positively influenced by Tom. I could go on and on about the great times we shared and how he counseled me.
One thing I will always remember was that he bought me my first major league baseball glove. It was a treasure I used for decades.
I look forward to seeing all of you sometime, hopefully in the near future. Tommy and I stay in touch, but I hope to connect with all of you.
Cousin Larry, or as Tom would say "Cuz".
God bless you all!
You are a great, loving family.

Dear Ansilio Family,
My heart is broken with hearing of the passing of my dear friend, Tom. One of the greatest men I have ever known - I will never forget him. I'm sure that the man upstairs wanted an awesome flower man - he sure got one!!!! I'm going to miss him at the flower tent - no more hugs and conversations about my boys, Kevin & Owen - he always asked about them and joked with them when they came with me.
I will say a prayer - God Bless You....

Tim, Karen and Family………….Every life has a purpose to fill…..a purpose which humans can seldom infer. Your dad was a gift from heaven, whose purpose was to make this world understand what love, friendship, goodness, and humbleness was all about. Your dad belongs in heaven and I know he is watching over all of you, bestowing his awesome smile and signaling you all with his biggest cigar ever!
We need to remember that death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. Tom was an amazing gentleman!……………Good-bye, Tom……. May he rest in peace…..God Bless!!!
