Dear Debra,
I had many wonderful memories growing up with Tom. He always had a great smile, always sincere and a devoted friend. I always enjoyed hanging aroud the house with the De Paola family. Tom was proud of his family and determined to please everyone. So sorry for your loss. Loved by everyone.

Tom was the sweetest man I have ever known. I knew if I needed help he’ d be there and he was. I was stuck and needed a jump. Because of other accidents there were none available Tom called a friend and we were taken care. To make it worse, he came when he was dyeing 🐣 eggs with the family. I was never alone. Tom was there. My husband and Tom were great friends...like 2 brothers from different mothers. He was someone special and people like him don’t come along often. Be strong and hold onto the love 💕 he showed us all.We will all be together again. Thanks for sharing Tom with me 


Debbie & Family,
Since the first day we met Tom when he walked into our shop with his plans in his hands we knew we would be friends for a long time. 
Tom was the kindest, honest and sincere Contractor we did work for. You and Tom were the nicest couple as well.  I enjoyed our hour long conversations
during work hours and If Paul was in the office when Tom came around we knew they would be in his office laughing and talking for the next couple of hours.  So grateful to have had Tom in our lives. And who knew that his niece would marry my nephew.  We were all meant to know one another. 
Now Tom and Paul can continue to watch over us all as they always have.
Sending our deepest condolences to you and your family 
Love,
Barbara Muniz &

Debi and boys, I am so very for your loss.  My heart bleeds for you all.  Debi - George would always tell me that “you and Tom were the ones that got it right”! I pray for you now - for the strength to lean on your wonderful children and their families. Tom will be watching over you from above. My very deepest sympathies, Sheila 

Debi, TJ, Matt, Chris and family, we are so sorry to hear about Tom. He was a great man and will be missed! We always enjoyed our visits with him. Your family is in our prayers.

Tom brought a smile, friendship and love to everyone. My younger cousin, who shared my love for construction, became more like a brother I never had over the last ten years when Elaine and I moved to Florida. He and his wonderful family made the transition much easier and us feel at home in "DePaola South".  The number one Patriots fan will be greatly missed and never forgotten. We were all so fortunate to have him as part of our life.

Oh Mr. DePalo how I will miss you greeting me either outside or inside the Pharmacy. I couldn't get by you, you were always there with a BIG smile and a friendly greeting. The evidence of your faithful life to God and Family is evidenced by your children and I'm sure Grandchildren. 
     Who really enjoys going to a Pharmacy? I have known TJ for quite awhile now and you have left him with the same kind and gentle Spirit. I don't know the rest of the children but I am sure they have the same qualities you displayed and taught them as they grew from childhood to adults.
     Debra, I am so sorry for your loss. God will bring you through. Know that your husband left early to make the proper arrangements  for Eternal Happiness and to welcome you to Eternal Happiness with him. 
     God Bless You and All your family,
     Respectfully, Quentin Queisser.

Gene and I met Tom  in 2000 when we wanted to add a third bedroom to a house we owned in Cape Coral. Being from San Diego and not knowing many people, Tradewind Estate Homes came highly recommended by the good folks at Raso Realty.   In he came!  A big guy with a heart and sense of humor as big as the world!  During that first construction project (and many more followed!) my young grandsons watched Tom and his crew work and he always stopped to make sure the boys got explanations, bird’s eye views and lessons on how things were done properly. Tom and Debi visited us once in San Diego and couldn’t get enough of our new baseball stadium. Hopefully they caught our Padres vs. the Red Sox game while they were here!  I can only imagine the panic in the locker rooms of the Patriots and Red Sox with this huge, happy and proud fan now gone from their ranks.  He’ll be up there with the rest of all the greats watching from the best seat in the house. Rest In Peace, Tom.   And Debi, TJ, Matt and Chris, you’re left to carry on. Guys, take only the best care of your dear Mother for she was the love of your Father’s life.   And now, please accept my heartfelt and sincere sympathies for your profound loss.   All the very best as you pick yourselves up and slowly begin the grieving and healing process. Thank heaven you have each other and a closer family never existed!  Thanks for all of the happy and fun times. Judy and Gene

Dear TJ, 
You always spoke so lovingly of your parents at the gym and I was so very sorry to hear of your Dad passing.  Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.  Sincerely, Anne Rose

Dear Debra, TJ, Matthew, Chris and Family,
I have known your husband/father Tom since 2005 when I worked at Barkley Place.   Of the many vendors and care providers, Tom was the most genuine, professional, kind,  dedicated, caring individual.  And he always went out of his way when someone was in need.  Not to mention his bright smile and the positive energy and encouragement he gave the residents and staff daily! 
 He was one of God's angels in this world.   I know he continued this for many years  because I ran into him again at Brookdale when my mother moved there.   I lost my dear Mother in November.   She would tell me how this wonderful man would seek her out when he was delivering prescriptions just to say hello.   Often, it made her day!   Then, I ran into Tom when Mom was living her last days at Health park Care Center.   Again, he went out of his way to bring encouragement and light to Mom when he was in the building and stopped in to say hello. That meant the world to me and my family!   Tom had a way of making everyone feel special,including me.  And, when he spoke of his wife and his family he just beamed!   He was clearly a family man and made sure everyone knew how important his family was to him and how proud he was of all of you.   The last time I saw him  he made a point of telling me about his amazing grandchildren! I am so very sorry for your great loss. I will keep you in my prayers.  I am thankful for the privilege of having known Tom.  May God bless you mightily and comfort you in this sad time!  I know you will be reunited in heaven.

We're thinking of all of you at this time and so sorry for the loss of Tommy.  He was so kindhearted, admired, fun-loving and absolutely one-of-a-kind! He will be missed but he is unforgetable so he will always live in our hearts and memories.

With love, hugs and prayers
Always,
Lisa DePaola (Arnold) 
and Cammi Arnold

Dear Debbie and family,

Although I never met Tommy, I know he was Clara's nephew.  He must have been a very special man because I know with every thing in your busy lives and business, he always made time for Don and Pam and Cousin Jimmy, [I am sure.] He will be missed by so many people but especially you and your family.  I hope that  they bring you comfort and that you have many great memories of your life together.  I can only think of what a shock this was to you and  your family and so familiar to Dons passing. Well together in heaven they will be doing the Lords bidding and connecting with their loved ones who have passed.  I picture Don painting or rearranging something and I am sure Tommy is right by his side to help.  

Again my sincere sympathy on your loss,
Christina A. Wordell

Dear Debbie and Family, I remember Tom as a young boy and always being sweet and he had a ready smile.  God Bless him and know that he will always be by your side. You two created a Happy Family.
What better gift to look back on.  Treasure all the good times.  Love, Helena


Tom,going to miss you my friend. We always had a good time when we visited You &  Deb.   Tom  now you can look down on your Baby's from up above.  RIP My friend. Steve😢😢😢😢😢😢
