Tom first jobs were as a waiter, moving between the Jersey Shore and Florida with stops at Pinehurst, NC, and other resort venues. Tom''s first marriage produced four boys followed later with his only daughter and another son in his second marriage.

After ten years Tom was happy to be joined in the business by his oldest son Bill, followed by his son Chris a few years later.

Tom was one of the original titans of the construction services business in the WMV area.they are working on a movie about Tom's life but somebody already took the title. It'S A Wonderful Life.

Uncle "Tommy" was one of the nicest people going, always smiling and happy. He and Ruth came to my wedding 30 years ago. I was shocked to see him at the salon where I was having my hair done the morning of the big event. He was having his hair trimmed there. I will never forget that great surprise! My deepest sympathy to his children and grandchildren. Very sad that he is gone but he will always remain in our hearts.

Tom was always the best step-father to my brother, Donnie, my sisters, Adele, Trisha, and me (Sharon). We will always miss him and his warm heart. So Sorry for your loss.
