If you ask anyone who knew Tommy you would get the same answer: he was an amazing person. Tommy was one of a kind. He was known for his big heart and big smile. He's best described by friends and family as being funny. He would do anything for a good laugh and he could make you laugh even when you were mad at him. He often said: "as long as I can still make you laugh I know I'm doing good." He was warm, friendly, and loving. He was always generous with his time and friendship. He was loved and admired by everyone he met and never knew a stranger. Tommy made everyone he encountered feel welcome, important and special. He was the best father anyone could ask for.

Tommy enjoyed spending time with family, cooking on the grill, taking trips with his fiancé and fishing trips with friends.
