Tommy loved spending time with his family and friends, as well as the many people from Community Systems, Inc. who took such wonderful care of him. He was well loved by all and will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his siblings Karen Marron, and her husband Stephen, their children Ryan and Ashley, all of Newtown, Elizabeth Randall of Southbury and her son Adam, Steven Lacko of Maine, and his uncle John Lacko of Orange.
