Tom was also survived by his son Tony of Manchester, his brother's John and his wife Peg, Bob and his wife Patricia of Torrington, his brother in law Bob Massaro of Grand Junction, CO and a niece and three nephews. Tom has many passions including painting, photography, baseball and motorcycles. For many years, Tom put his soul into coaching and umpiring little league baseball and helping out in any way he could for benefits and charities. His passion for motorcycles began at age 16. When it came to beginning a family, he hung the helmet up to focus on his priorities. As time passed, hardships endured, the time to continue that journey arrived. There was nothing more he loved than to take rides with his wife Betty and his son Tony. Short or long distances, as long as they were together, it didn't matter. He was a member of LRR, American Legion Riders, Manchester Board of Umpires and the Hartford Board of Umpires, which led to his favorite saying "Let's kick some ass!".
