  • I was very sorry to hear this news about Tommy and send love and condolences to his family.
    My mom Kay and Tom were like siblings not just cousins growing up and as adults spent many happy times together.
    I only hope they had a wonderful reunion and sang an Irish song or two together ❤️
    God bless you Tom.

  • Dear Kellie and Family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your beautiful memories with your Dad bring you peace and comfort during this sad time.

    Thinking of you and sending prayers of peace your way.

    With Sympathy and Love,

  • Our thoughts and prayers are with Kellie, Todd, their children, and families on the loss of their dad, grand dad, and just an all around great person.
    Tom was like an uncle to me as well as a wonderful god parent. I was fortunate to grow up close to Kellie and Todd. When they’d venture out to fish toward Nantasket, Tom would always invite then include me for the journey. Whether or not we caught anything didn’t matter as I’d always to try to steal Todd’s fish but Tom helped prevent it. Humor aside, he was easy to talk to. I knew him when he was very much a dad, always willing to be engaged in his children’s activities.
    He was also an extremely hard worker and provider for his family. He spent many hours working at Gillette, the Hospital, and also served as an usher at Sunday Mass. He and his first wife Anna, my father’s first cousin, were wonderful parents that always put their children first. Tom & Anna made a great couple. Their camaraderie, sacrifices, and marital partnership were a model for all husbands and wives to follow.
    Tom will be missed. I regret not being able to attend his services in person but wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the life he lived plus the love he showed his children.
    With much sadness and many wonderful memories,
    Joseph, Stacy, Gabrielle, & Andrew DiRocco
