His family was the absolute most important thing in life to him and anyone who knew him would tell you that first and foremost, he was a family man. Thomas was an avid model train collector and loved all things New York Central. He was known to have a great sense of humor and the kindest heart. He would literally give you the shirt off his back or his last dollar. He loved playing baseball, softball and fastpitch as a catcher and played well into his 40s, at times on several teams at once. He was a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan and has seen every super bowl since the start. He loved music and dancing with his love. Thomas was preceded in death by his father, Anthony, his mother Josephine, his brother Tony, and his sisters, Mary and Anna.
