We are so sorry for the loss of Uncle Tom. It was an honor, a privilege and a whole lot of fun, we are truly better people just for knowing him. We miss and love you, Jason and Christine.
I love you, Uncle Tom! Thank you for all the wonderful memories and fun times we all had together…we will never forget you, and all of the little ones will hear the stories for years and years to come. xoxoxo
Maureen and Family:
My sincerest condolences.
Tom/Dad will certainly be missed. His humor, political commentary, and even more so his ‘bigger than life’ attitude made me so thankful that we had met. I learned much about the construction industry from Tom.
He loved you all and continually spoke of you every time we got together.
Thank you for sharing him with me.

I met Tom when he started dating my sister Maureen,I was about 7-8,and from day 1 I liked him,he was so cool,drove great cars,had an awesome dog and was always nice to me,never made me feel like the pain kid sister,once they got married I loved him even more,he was always fun to be around and always up to date on the newest gadgets,(cb radios,etc)and always let us jump right in.whenever Maureen would yell at me for something stupid I did,he always had my back and would try and turn it around on her.lol(I loved that about him).
At family functions all four of my children from the day they were born would run right to Uncle Tommy first and hang with him.The sun will not shine as bright without you around,you will be missed everyday.I can smile today amidst all this sadness because I can imagine you and Ma sitting up there chilling and laughing at all of us.rest in peace Tom,my “Brother”

Maureen and family, so sorry to hear Tom passed. He is the first of the cousins to pass away, and too young. We are in Fl. And unable to attend the wake, but I did tell some of the other cousins that will be there. Even though we can’t be there, we will be thinking of you all.
Our deepest sympathy,
Carolyn and Rocky Fabiano

Joel and I have had the pleasure of sharing the D’Angelos plaza with Tom for the last 1 and 1/2 years and can’t believe this sudden loss. He brought such happiness and laughter to our lives and was sure to evoke a smile from anyone in the room. He loved all of you so much and talked about his family all of the time, always followed by, “where you taking me for dinner tonight? Joel…you’re buying!”. We are just so sad and are really sending our love to you throughout this time.
Joel and Kristen Favreau
To my Sister Maureen and all the kids . Sincerely sorry for the loss of Tom. He was such an inspiration to all he met and will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all . With all my Love, Kevin.
Tom and Maureen have been friends with my parents, Tom and Carol, since, well, FOREVER; therefore, they’ve been in my life since the day I was born. My brothers and I grew up calling Tom, “Uncle Tom”, and Maureen, “Auntie Maureen” and the kids, “our cousins”. When people asked how we were related, we had to explain that we’re not really related in the traditional sense – ya know, through an actual blood line, but that we were “fake” cousins and that Tom and Maureen were our “fake” uncle and aunt. The truth of the matter is that my “fake” family couldn’t be any more REAL! I have many amazing memories filled with so much love and happiness that will be in my heart always! Uncle Tom, you are in every one of those memories, which means you will be in my heart, ALWAYS! I love you and already miss you! Auntie Maureen and all my cousins…….. I love you and you are in my thoughts and prayers! Xoxoxo
Sue and Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I know how close you were and it’s a terrible loss. You and the rest of your family have my deepest sympathy!
To Tom’s family, I am sorry for your loss. My name is Giancarlo Francesconi owner of the Radio Coffeehouse in Milton. I have become friends with Tom over the course of years that I owned the Coffeehouse. It comes as a shock to hear of his passing, he was always a familiar face at Radio Coffeehouse and will be missed. He would often come in to get his half a cup of coffee and muffin top (preferably corn) and I say this with a smile on my face, he would always give me grief if I didn’t have the corn muffins ready. We would not only talk about current events, generally politics and sports, but he would tease me about how much an Obama supporter I was. I am lucky to have known such a good man. He will be missed.
The Francesconi Family
To the Magri Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of spending summers in Sandwich next door to your family. Tom was a wonderful man and our family respected him very much. Our deepest sympathy for each of you.
