A U.S. Army veteran, Thomas served his country with quiet steadiness and a sense of duty that earned the lasting respect of those who knew him. Throughout his life, he was beloved—held close not only for what he did, but for the simple, enduring presence he brought to the people around him.
Thomas was the son of Frank and Katherine Marzullo. He was married to his loving wife, Judith, for 41 years. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Arnold and Ralph. He is survived by his sister-in-law, Laura Cunningham, and his nephews, Arnold Jr. (Tammy), Steve, and Mark (Donna), along with many nieces and nephews.
