Joseph Grennell says
Tom was a great guy. He lived life the way he wanted to and that was one of the things I admired most about him. He had a strong love for family and would always do anything he could for them. I am privileged to have children that called UT(Uncle Tom). I will never forget his laugh and his humor that always kept my kids on their toes. Like when he grew a third leg for my son Lukas…. Great man! This world lost a good one!!!

Always in our hearts
Carol Thiel says
We were so sorry to see Tom’s passing. Sadly, we haven’t been in touch with the family for quite some time, but I always had fond memories hanging out at the Perfetto house when we were kids. They were such a raucous bunch, but a lot of love in that family. Tom’s dad Babe was my dad’s dearest friend, so we were there a lot. Then in later year a few of us worked at InSinkErator, so we’d catch up at work. May Tom rest in peace and prayers to all of our Perfetto family.
