I saw this sad news on LinkedIn. I didn't know Tommy but after reading all the comments I feel like I did. Maybe it's an Italian thing. I'm sure he was a great person and certainly will be missed. I don't understand why God takes the great ones. He took my Dad 7 years ago today!! My thoughts and prayers are with the family and especially his wife Yvette. May God continue to look over your family and keep this man alive in many other ways. My sincere condolences. David Genna

I always looked at Tommy as a role model and inspiration. He gave me hope that there are people out there who are good people, dreamers and family men all in one. Very sad that he is now in heaven so young. The world needed more men like him. His family is in my prayers. Rest In Peace Tommy

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Tommy. I am his second cousin. 6 years his senior. His Mother Anita and I were first cousins. Although we have not seen each other in many years I have fond memories of playing together at our houses in Brooklyn.

Tommy was an outstanding man and a great father. He left his legacy not only with his profession but with his family as well, which I know will be proudly carried on by his daughters and their families. As proud as he was with what he accomplished professionally nothing made him more proud then his family. We were extremely blessed and honored to get to know Tommy for the time that we did. Rest Easy Tommy, you will be extremely missed. God Bless the Bonfiglio Family. Our Deepest Condolences, The Lovgren Family.
