I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of my childhood neighbor Tommy. I grew up with Dana and always knew Tommy to be a loving father, husband, family man, and great neighbor that would always be there in a pinch for anyone on our street. He was a mainstay on his front patio, washing his cars with his brother in law, and giving the kids on the block a hard time when we got out of line (and rightfully so). My condolences to Joann and Dana specifically, who I know loved him dearly. My condolences to the family and all of the rest of his close friends and neighbors who I know will miss his "yo" and that laugh that was only Tommy's. Rest in peace sir, you were a great one.

Sincere condolences to Joann, Dana, and Marie On the passing of my cousin, Tom. Tommy was probably the funniest man I ever knew, He could be as serious as a judge and have everyone roaring laughing, There were times I'd beg him to stop cause my sides hurt so much from laughing, one of his famous sayings was " I never met a pizza I didn;t like", Tommy and his sister, Marie, were quite a team. They could feed off each other and double the fun. Though I didn't see Tommy very much, he lived vicariously through Marie to whom I keep in close contact. You will be sorely missed, dear cousin, but I know you will have those in heaven with a constant smile on their faces. Rest in peace, Tommy

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
