Thomas Lovece was born in 1928 in New York City. He currently resided in Newtown, NC. He was a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Although an electrician by trade he was a musician at heart. Often described as a character, he was truly one of a kind. Family and friends were always entertained by his stories where actual details seemed less important than his craft in telling them. He was a great provider for his family and a multitude of animals. His family got great comfort in knowing that if anyone was in any kind of a troubling situation and needed his help, he would be there in a moments notice. Donations in his honor can be made to The Humane Society at Catawbahumane.org.
