Tom's memory will be embraced by his children Shannon Moore, and her husband John, Thomas J. Golino, III, and his fiance' Stacey Rogers, and Tara Golino; His pride and joy, Eric Thompson, was his first grandson but was more like a son; additionally cherished grandchildren, Destinee Rodriguez, Bella Moore, and Christian Cotto.

Truly passionate of the sports of baseball and football, he found great enjoyment as an umpire and referee for many years for all ages. He was an avid fan of both the Yankees and Giants. If not on the field, he could usually be seen behind the grill or in the kitchen creating a delicious meal for family and friends.



Above all , he was a dedicated loving father, husband, papa, brother, uncle and loved his friends dearly. He was a lover of life, the glue to our family, and the memories and love he gave will last a lifetime. He will truly be missed by all.
