Tom Barone was a passionate soul, who loved life. He grew up quickly in Southern California and experienced many areas of life. He attended a catholic seminary, graduated from the police academy, held collegiate student body offices, and ran for public office, all by the age of 21. Before he turned 22, he met his match in life, Marta. Tom and Marta married some six years later and lived a life full of love and laughter. Together they traveled the world and were always planning their next adventure. Although chronic severe back pain troubled Tom for the last several years of his life, his wanderlust prevailed. Tom was taken much too soon. He had so much more loving, living and laughing to do.
