Vasilios (Bill) Mihalitsas Tom’s family and especially his sons and daughters have my condolences. I met Tom only once while dating his daughter, Rachael but she talked about him often and I knew she loved him dearly. 2009 has been particularly bad for his children for did not their mother, Linda, pass away earlier in the year? My heart is deeply saddened for your loss.

Kimmarie Scherzi Relation to Deceased: 1st Cousin I am sorry that Tommy has passed away,He always would find a way to smile,a really hard worker and kind person. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker

Debi Doo Wingate-Clark Relation to Deceased: “Best Friends” There is no other person like Tommy Lodadio. You made us laugh till we cried, fed us till we couldn’t eat anymore, and you loved us unconditionally and always let us know that! You are our “Best Friend” and we will never forget you. We spent every vacation with Tommy and Mary on Siesta Key Beach, “Our Beach”, in Florida where the four of us bonded and connected with each other like no other friendship could. We lived together like no other friends could and we laughed together like no other friends could. You always treated us like we were “your family” and we will never forget you. There was never a bad time with you Tommy Lodadio and we will miss you and always stay in our hearts forever!! You were and still are the “LION KING” !!! Love you with all my heart! Debi Doo Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
Danielle Kasper Relation to Deceased: Daughter Thank you everyone for all of your heartfelt messages. My father was such a great man, everything he did and loved in his lifetime was done with such passion. Everyday I am consumed with sadness and also wonderful memories that comfort me. He was such a huge influence in my life, I often wonder how I am going to pick up the pieces and go on, but one thing ToM Lodadio taught his children was to always be strong in all situations as he was always strong. I miss my father more than I could every convey into words, I will always remember him, I will always respect him, and I will alway love him. I love you daddy, I miss you everyday. I know i’ll see you again someday in heaven.
Annette petrillo Relation to Deceased: friend of Mary Mary, I am so sorry to hear about Tommy. When we saw you at Antonetta”s in July, he looked wonderful. Our hearts go out to you at this sad time. You are all in our hearts and prayers. The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
Still missing you -more than you will ever know. Thank the lord for memories.
Happy Anniversary – it would have been 15 years – you are missed so very much by all of us.
