  1. Will never forget his infectious smile and enthusiasm as we fished for Wahoo in the Abacos.
    We always caught fish and had plenty of laughs.
    He will be missed by all.

    1. Thank You Jim
      The Abacos were special to Tom.
      He loved fishing, sharing stories on Dock 5, cocktails under the tent and club trips. Life will not be the same without him. Our 52nd anniversary is next week. We have a wonderful supportive family. May He Rest in Peace.

  2. We met Tom and Pat in the Bahamas at the Royal marsh Harbor yacht club and enjoyed many times with them our relationship continued at the Mariner Sands Country club where we both bought houses when we were getting out of the boating business of course Tom really never got out of boating business, we have our great memories and we loved him and Pat very much and we will miss Tom immensely and our twilight golf games at Mariner Sands Country club Robert and Rita Wieczorek

    1. Thank you Robert and Rita for being such good friends. Tom and I really enjoyed our lunch with you two this summer in Riverhead.
      Looking forward to seeing you soon.
      Love Pat

    1. Thank You Bill
      Life will not be the same. He did want me to continue enjoying life.
      We have a wonderful supportive family.
      May Tom Rest In Peace.

  3. Spent lots of time with Tom at industry events. We served together on councils and traveled together on vendor trips. He was such fun and will truly be missed. i promise when Tom was in the room there was no stone that didnt get unturned. He was a great businessman and a real friend. He will be sorely missed.

    RIP my friend.

    1. Hello Jim,
      It has been a long time since you, Rhonda, Tom and I enjoyed those wonderful Old World trips.
      Good times with good people.
      May Tom Rest In Peace

  4. My heart broke when I heard this news. Jim and I have so many wonderful memories of the time we were able to spend with you both on fabulous trips around the world. As time goes on, they have grown even sweeter and they always bring a smile to our faces. Tom will be sorely missed. No doubt he already has heaven in a laughing uproar. May God wrap His loving arms tightly around the entire family, give you strength and one day bring you peace. Carrying you all in our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers.

    1. Hi Rhonda,
      We certainly did enjoy the Old World trips. It was like a reunion every year with good friends.
      Tom fought hard for 4 1/2 years. At the end he looked peaceful.
      I had a “conversation” with him as the nurse said he can hear you. He was in a Hospice Inn the last 3 days.
      Our 52nd anniversary on 9/23…..
      We had a wonderful life together and an amazing supportive family. ❤️

  5. I just came upon Tom’s obituary.
    I am sad to see Tom passed. He was such a great neighbor and friend. I am so sorry for Pat and her children. I have been away for 22 years but have fond memories.

  6. I’m very sorry to the family for your loss.
    Tom was a business and personal friend dating back many years. It was a pleasure watching Tom and his family grow their very successful business.

    1. Thanks Mike for your thoughtful post.
      I am remembering our wonderful life together. I have an amazing supportive son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and 4 grandchildren.
