Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.  Four years without you.  I will always love you, Tom.

Tom was such a trooper…. Always the host with the most when a crowd of chatty public school women would descend upon his house!!! Always greeted with a smile! Always the nicest guy! Always the love of Debbie’s life!  Tom is missed  ❤️

Three long years without you.  I think of you with love every day.

There are no goodbyes for us.  Wherever you are, you will be in my heart forever.

I’d not seen Tom since our time together in Fredonia 55+ years ago. I recall him as an easy conversationalist, one who took a genuine interest in those with whom he spoke.  College years can present myriad challenges to the young and I recall Tom as one who brought calm and confidence to all he did.  RIP, friend……….

I can only remember Tom as "Tom and Debbie"...the ultimate hosts when you are in their home.  Always greeted with a smile that made you feel at home. Just know they were a real team. So grateful they were in that chapter of my life. Love to Debbie.

If something makes you sad when it ends,
It must have been pretty wonderful when it happened.

It was wonderful, Tom.
All my love.

Enjoyed seeing the pictures of Tom and Debbie on this anniversary.  I only knew Tom as with Debbie.  And also as the greatest  of hosts if you were in their home.  And quite the handyman!  Rest In Peace to a good and kind man. 🙏

It’s hard to believe a year has gone by. I’m fortunate to live close to Debbie so I get to see her fairly often. As I think back on the past 12 months, even though I know Debbie misses him terribly every single day, I also know Tom would be so proud of how she has carried on and taken care of things. She probably would disagree, but I think she is one of the strongest women I know. 

The loss of Tom remains. These twelve months have not lessened the loss. I must say that Tom is one of those people who you cannot imagine being gone. His humor, intelligence, insight and yest for life was unique from my perspective.  I listened to everything he said and was often guided by his words. What would he say about today's world?

Deb knows what I mean.  Putt 

Growing up with Tom and Richard is a memory I will never forget. They treated me like a brother. In recent years I have talked with Tom on regular basis. Hockey was a love of Tom’s. He was up on all aspects of hockey. Last season we texted and talked to keep each other up to date. The Canes will miss you. Loved our time together. 

Tom was a dear and loved friend for over 6 decades.  He was a friend of mine from our days as Boy Scouts at St. Anthony's Church in Fredonia, NY, in the late 1950s. His sudden passing is an enormous loss to his family, friends and me.
Tom never really changed over the 6o+ years that I knew him.  He always had a keen insight into situations and issues.  He was funny and often times very jolly.  He was never insulting or hurtful.  All of this is a testament to the considerable brain power of Tom Albertine.  He and Debbie were a wonderful match pair. My sympathies to Debbie and to all of us who miss Tom immensely.

 I'm thinking of you Debbie and keeping you in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of this devastating news. Tom was a friendly, positive, well spoken man who always had a warm greeting upon meeting him. Debbie and Tom were a wonderful couple. I can’t imagine after 48 years that he’s not there in spirit with her, to help her through these difficult times. Sending much love Carol and Bob.

Tom Albertine and his Wife Debbie were 2 of the most beautiful, loving, friendly humble and care giving people anyone could ever want to meet.  I am so glad that God placed them in my life.  I have known them for at least 20 + years.  Tom farewell my friend until I see you again.  Thanks for your friendship, your mentorship, and the knowledge you shared with me.  Your legacy will live on in all of us.
Thanks Tom and Deb;
Keith

I did not have the pleasure to have met Tom, but he obviously brought much joy to many especially Debbie.  I am so sorry for your loss and wish Debbie and the family peace and love as you travel this journey.

Tom was loved by everyone that he grew up with in Fredonia, New York.  We were all family. And Debbie quickly became a part of that family.  Tom was a singer, tennis player all round athlete,and wonderful cook. Passionate about his many interests. He will be sadly missed.

Tom and Debbie Albertine are 2 of the finest people I have ever known. Tom was a sweet, kind, compassionate, and extremely intelligent man. I am honored to call him my friend. He was a loyal and devoted husband to my dear friend, Debbie. He will be greatly missed by many. 

I can only remember Tom with a big smile on his face and a welcoming way about him.  I can only remember Tom and Debbie as “together”, a totally loving and dedicated couple.  Tom will really be missed.❤️
