Judy , Christine and Kate,
So sorry for your loss. We have countless great memories of good times , funny and memorable sayings and the great story telling. Tom had the ability to help others and willingly did so in many ways. Christine and Kate , he always spoke of his pride for you. Forever remembered and truly missed.
~ Tom and Angela Normoyle - January 17, 2021
I am so very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I knew Tom from umpiring softball... and what a great umpire he was! He made the right calls, knew the rules, and was always in charge. If a player or coach ever tried to argue with Tom, they learned quickly not to do it again! I knew when I worked a game with Tom there weren't going to be ANY problems. My father, who is too mentally ill to send his own memories, thought the world of Tom. They loved to umpire together, and Tom gave him some good deals on a couple of cars. When I was in my late teens, Tom owned a Corvette. I remember he let me drive it one day... what a thrill! Tom always gave his time and attention to others. He'd always ask about your family, and help you out if you needed something. Tom, I hope you are resting in piece. And to Tom's family... I'm very sorry. May it be comforting to know how many people loved and respected Tom.

To Tom's family - I am very sorry for your loss. Tom seemed so full of life that it does not seem possible he has left us. He helped me get a job at BCBS, and we umpired together on many, many softball fields. He could never be questioned or second-guessed about a rule interpretation. He was a pleasure to be around, and always had a good story to tell. May he rest in peace.

Christine ,Cate & family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Bill Rapp Nissan for several years. He was always fun, helpful & a generous man. We had a a lot of fun after work @ Casa di Capani's having a few drinks. Your Dad had told me on more than one occasion how proud he was of you both & that you were his two best friends. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

Tommy was an amazing umpire and one of the best people to hang out with. He came to our house when we were younger and we thought he was so awesome, mainly because he had a nice car. Lol He would talk to ask if it's before talking with dad, he let my brother drive his car. Lucky brother!!! Yes I was jeolous. Lol My dad and him would talk for hours, he taught me how to umpire he said he didn't want me to learn from anyone else,
I had my first beer with him and he always treated me like a "daughter". His daughters are amazing as well!! Heaven definitely gained another wonderful angel. ?? Love always.
~ Debbie Markusz - January 11, 2021
My deepest condolences to his family. I always enjoyed Tom’s company. Usually playing golf or talking baseball with he and my father. He will be missed.

We are sad to learn of Tom's passing. We worked with him for over 30 years at Blue Cross and Blue Shield and had reconnected with him since, through his involvement with the automobile industry. He was honest, generous and kind with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

I remember Tommy from the good old Valley days when he lived with his Father and Grandfather and sister on Valley Drive. Tommy's Grandfather and my Grandmother were neighbors and relations and I spent alot of time there during my childhood. We would go to Van Pattens and Beugages stores for penny candy and the brothers would go to Curly's. Kayla and I were close to the same age, so we hung out together more and Tommy was a little older. Kayla and I went to Valley field days and had alot of fun. Tommy was always kind to me and I remember him being handsome and popular with the girls. My daughter Kathleen has been friends with Tommy's daughter for many years and it wasn't too long ago that they learned they were related! My deepest sympathy to Tommy's wife and daughters ad his sister Kayla. Tommy will be missed but I hope his memories will help to comfort you. I will keep you all in prayer.

Judy and Girls, I'm so very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with Tom, he was a great boss and awesome guy, always joking and kidding around.
I ran into Tom again at the car dealership, Lowes and various spots around town. He was very proud of his daughters, and always mentioned them both and caught me up with what they were doing. Tom will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to you all,
Jill

I worked with Thomas for 2 years and what a funny guy! I wouldn’t be surprised if Thomas had a Mercedes Benz casket, those were his “go to” cars! He will be missed!
~ Keith Naples - January 10, 2021
Judy and family,
Very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with him at the Blues for over 30 years and got to know him well. He was a great resource for us when we needed support on a special project or just doing better overall.
There was always a time for Tom to inject any situation with his quick wit and experiences.
Rest in Peace Tom. You'll be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. We have lost touch over the years but I remember him growing up on Valley Drive where we would visit his family. I am younger than Tom and he was always running off to do things with his friends as soon as he could when we would visit because we were too young to be any fun. My sister Sue and I would come over with our Father Larry Robinson. It’s very sad to lose part of our family like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
