illness. He was born in North Arlington, New Jersey. He proudly served in the United States
Navy, a veteran of the Korean War. Tom was employed by Leslie Controls for 38 years,
moving to Florida when the Company relocated here in 1986. He was an avid sports fan,
coaching and managing Little League teams in New Jersey. Although he rooted for
the Bucs and Rays after moving to Florida, in his heart of hearts, never stopped rooting
for the New York Yankees and Giants.
He was a long time, devoted Usher at Nativity Catholic Church, as well as a member of
the Knights of Columbus, Council 6724, and chaired the popular Churro's Both at Novem-
berfest for many years.
He is survived by his loving wife, Arlene, of almost 59 years, children, Jeffrey (Colette),
William (Kelly), daugter, Laura, and grandchildren, Tommy, Taylor, Adrienne, Will, and
Morgan.
Services will be held at Nativity Catholic Church on Thursday, September 3, 2020,
