He is survived by Janice, his sister Simone Zani and her wife Mary Jane Ochkie, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends, all who will remember him for his loyalty, diligence, clever wit and thoughtfulness.
The family would like to acknowledge the dedication of Thom's caregivers in the last stage of his life, all of whom doted on him with love and affection.
