Tom was a dedicated friend to everyone with an infectious laugh. He didn’t know a single stranger and welcomed all to hang out in his shop where he liked to tinker and work on all garage things. He enjoyed this comradery with his buddies a great deal. When he wasn’t in his shop, you might find him fishing out of his own boat or relaxing in his chair watching football. His favorite hobbies were always whatever his kids were involved in. He would tell you his greatest accomplishment in life was his kids and grandkids. He was one proud Poppa and enjoyed telling stories about his family. Tom was a hard worker and devoted much of his life building his business as a NDT radiographer, a business he has handed down to a trusted nephew, Daniel Cerutti. Tom was a generous and loyal man. He and his wife, Cynthia, built a family full of love, traditions and values that will be passed down for generations. He was a grizzly bear with a heart of gold. Tom was a loving husband, proud father, devoted grandfather & great-grandfather, man of God and trusted friend. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
