Tom, you were one of my daughter's (Jackie Burkhardt) best friends in high school. You always made her laugh. You will greatly be missed. My thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.

There was never a dull moment with Tom. I met him in New York through mutual friends and we instantly clicked. Memories of us laughing hysterically will forever be imbedded in my mind. I am saddened by his loss but grateful for having spent time with him.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Tom. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs Buscemi, Sal, and all of Tom's family and friends.

I'm so shocked and sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. I met him almost 15 years ago at Tiffany & Co. and I loved him dearly. He was always incredibly enthusiastic and had an unmistakeable effervescence that's all too rare. The world will be a little dimmer now without his light, but please know that he made a difference in the lives of so many and his impact was and is something that will be with countless many for decades to come. My love, prayers, and deep condolences to you all.

Thomas was a beautiful person, I only got to know him in passing the lobby of 41 Madison and at events, but he always had great energy and nothing, but lovely things to say to make me smile. His laughter will always remain in my heart. People go their entire lives trying to make an impact, and he made one everyday.  My sincerest condolences to the Buscemi Family and Craig, he touched many lives and will never be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to Craig and the Buscemi family. As you know Tom was also a member of another family, the Tiffany & Co. family.  He is deeply missed by everyone. I would call him Mr.B and he would call me DEL.

We are feeling very selfish right now, even questioning things that we have no control over. May your family take comfort in knowing you have left an impression on so many lives. Tom's witty humor could  
 not compare to anyone else. Holidays will never be the same- The bright cube lights and celebrations you have made famous will be remembered always. The universe created a way of transitioning you away from your Tiffany family in a slow way, definitely not making this any easier. May all the memories you left behind keep your legacy forever young.

The Pretty Ladies of PLM ~ as Tom would say.

Rarely does a person experience friendship that exemplifies the word in its purest and truest form; a friendship sharing honesty, loyalty, trust, concerns, kindness, compassion, a wicked sense of humor, intelligence, love and never-ending support.  Thank you dearest friend for accepting me as I am; despite the flaws and imperfections and for always being a great source of encouragement perhaps during those times that I wasn't quite myself.  I pray that I was as great a source of friendship for you as you served me. 
Requiescat in Pace my dear fellow Fordham Ram, esteemed colleague, and most trusted confidant.   May peace and comfort find a place for Craig, your mom, your family, and the countless people who will forever treasure you.

Tom, I will miss your funny sense of humor. You made high school full of laughter. I know we haven't seen each other since high school but I'm grateful we reconnected on Facebook and seeing your posts made me laugh. 
My thoughts and prayers are with the Buscemi family.

Expressing my deepest condolences to Tom's family and friends. I met him and we became friends many years ago at T&Co. His friendship, life and love have been a precious spark in my life. His passing leaves a hole in my heart. I am so sorry for your dear loss, Craig, and for all of us who are wishing for just one more hug. Peace be with you.

My deepest condolences to the Buscemi family, Craig and all those who loved Tom. He will be deeply missed by so many for his infectious smile, witty sense of humor, and open and kind heart. I feel blessed to have known you. Rest in peace, my friend.

God works in mysterious ways and in a way we can not comprehend at times. This is one of those times; it is like a nightmare that we cannot awake from. You touched so many lives while here on earth. We were friends in high school, lost touch through college and reconnected on social media. I can only say how blessed I was to see you for dinner with the girls back in December. All I can reflect on was our car ride to the LIRR; where you said we need to do this more often. We're like the same person. And all I can think is now, we will never have that chance. My heart goes out to your family and friends and just know that you will be deeply missed here on earth. RIP my friend.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of Tom Buscemi, a true role model and mentor.  Tom guided me through the Blue Book Event at Tiffany's and allowed me to shine.  He took me under his wing of collaboration and love.  Now Tom has his own wings of peace and contentment.
