Tom deeply loved boating and fishing and enjoyed taking friends and many generations of Famigliettis out with him whenever possible. Over the years, Tom enjoyed family trips to Idaho and Hawaii, Cruises to Alaska, Tahiti, and the Italian Riviera, and one special trip to Italy to visit his parents’ hometowns. Most of all, Tom loved being at home surrounded by family for Sunday dinners.

Tom is survived by his wife of 50 years Alice, and five daughters: Karen Dattilo, Tami Bradley, Josephine Coderko, Lori Patterson, and Frances Martin. He is also survived by sixteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, one in heaven and two on the way.
