Hello, our names are Dan and Melissa, and we are setting up this GoFundMe campaign on behalf of our beloved father, Tom Sardilli, who is no longer with us. Tom took his last breath on Monday, June 17th, after holding on to have one last father's day with his loved ones. See below for services & links

Tom's Story

Tom Sardilli was raised in Newington, CT, by Henry Sardilli and Lexie (Hamel) Sardilli along with his sister Pamela (Sardilli) Stanforth. He lived a very active life- involved in baseball, football, and motocross from a young age. He graduated from Quinnipiac College (at that time), and went on to be a successful insurance agent at Sardilli Insurance in Southington. Additionally he founded New England Motocross (NEMX), helped with Mototown, and opened an indoor golf simulator, Happy's, in Southington with his son Dan. He grew to be a true gentleman and role model for his children. He was kind, loving, supportive, loyal, funny, and always up for an adventure. Throughout his life he enjoyed days spent with with friends & family, repping #15 on his bikes, boat rides on the CT river, sound, and in the Gulf of Florida, spending time with his beloved french bulldogs Oscar and Zeus, and cruising in his corvette.

He battled with prostate cancer for 8 years, until his time came to an end.

Purpose of the Fundraiser

We are raising funds to cover Tom's memorial expenses, as well as to support the Sardilli family during this heart-wrenching time. The financial burden of medical bills due to treatment and hospitalizations, combined with the costs of a proper farewell for their beloved father, is overwhelming.

Your contributions will help alleviate these pressures, allowing them to grieve and honor Tom’s memory without the added stress of financial strain.

If there are any additional funds after end of life costs have been taken care of all money will be donated to Prostate Cancer Foundation (pcf.org) to support the research and development of treatments & cures.
