Dear Linda and Family,
Even though we were not really close friends, when we saw Tom at Shabonna, St. Pascal and St. Patrick, Tom always had a "Hi How are you?" when we saw him. We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are for all of you and Tom. Bless you all!

Dear Linda, Keith, Katie and Cassie,

We are so sorry about your loss. It seems like yesterday when Keith and Norah were buddies, and Katie and Katie were on the basketball court together, What great times we had. Good memories will last forever, and our good memories of Tom and all of you will stay with us all our days.
With much love,

Bern used to love to tell the story of how he worked security at the carnival. He had a great time walking behind Billy and Tom for protection. Hopefully, he and Tom are hoisting a few together. You are in are thoughts and prayers.

I cant recall all the memories as I sit here and think back to the great life we all shared with TC. Thank you for all the memories,laughs, life stories and most of all your shining smile.

Linda- You are an amazing and true testament of a partner, best friend and wife. You are an angel that has touched so many lives with your kindness, compassion and most of all love.

Keith, Kate and Cassie- anyone who has come across any of you has been blessed with the opportunity to see what amazing parenting your parents did as well as a great sense of family you all have. Keep smiling and shining knowing that you are loved by many and all.

Love,
Melissa and Matt

Linda, and family......I remember all the fun times we shared after each day ended when I remodeled your home. Those times are never lost, I always think back when Tom was trying to get me drunk....and I would say not while I'm working, don't you want your home done and walls straight. All those times that great guy of yours busted his back helping me. I still think about the time he piled all that drywall in the bedroom and the house didn't collapse. I will miss those "Come on have another beer" You will be missed my friend. Jerry, Kathy, Patrick, Keri & Alysia Roberts

When I was a kid, Tom and Rick were heroes of mine. My older cousins. If our family was going to Tony and Rose's, my question was always, "Will Tom be there."
I'll never forget the day he had surgery for the clot on his brain. How euphoric we all felt when he came through it.
And of course I'll never forget all our Christmas Eves. The best day of the year. The Christmas after my Dad passed away- my Dad who loved Tom and who Tom so looked up to- we took Christmas Eve over from my Mom. Dad hadn't been gone long, and we all knew it wasn't going to be any easy one. I remember trying so hard to make it as merry as possible, trying to respect the absence of my Dad while still making it the holiday that we all so needed. And I remember everyone rallying in a way that I didn't think was possible. Like we were honoring my Dad by enjoying each other so much on this day that he always cherished.
I remember Tom leaving at the end of the night. We were laughing, sort of amazed at the wonderful time we had. And I think Tom knew how hard I had tried to make it work. Because when he was walking out the door, he shook my hand and said, "Merry Christmas." And then he looked at me with a big smile, and he said, "You're the man." Then he laughed. "You're the MAN!"
There's no way he could know how much that meant to me. My hero.
We send you all our love. So proud of all of you, the way you loved him and took care of him. What a great family.
Love,
Ron, Amy, Tony and Pauline Lazzeretti

Tom and I were best friends back at OLA. Played softball together. Hung out on the corner of Avers and Iowa. Last saw Tom at our Class of '68 reunion a couple of years ago. Didn't know how sick he was. So sad to hear this news. RIP old friend.

Corvo family, I have the fondest memories of the time we were fortunate enough to spend together. I truly cherish all the summers we were able to share up at Brindley's and doubt that my dad will ever find a better fishing partner... All of my love and deepest condolences.

Linda, Keith, Kate and Cassie
My heart is heavy as I think of all the happy times we had with Tom and all of you over the years. I can still hear that booming voice at a basketball game, and hearty laugh when sharing a story. And of course "Rock Bass City" He was a great guy and will be missed. Love you.

May all of your great memories help you in this sad time. Tom, was a true gentleman.
Love
The Funkhouser Family

Traveling throughout life, I often times encounter triggers that instantly transport me back to my childhood. I can be a smell, a thought, a word, a voice or a picture. To me just hearing the name Corvo transports me back to a time in my life of utter happiness and joyful child innocence.

I found out that Tom was ill, the same day I found out he had passed. Instantly upon seeing his name I was transported back to Franklin Park, on Sunset Lane to a birthday party in the back yard of my grandparents’ house.

Corvo.

Corvo Family, the way I remember it, meant togetherness, fellowship, love, *food*, and wonderful, wonderful Memories! I can remember Christmas parties at my Grandparents house, when my Grandfather would turn on the Christmas lights in the basement. They were there all year long, but at Christmas they were turned on to celebrate with the Corvo family. I remember one of my birthday parties, when the skies opened up and the rain poured down...and everyone started running into the house with all the food, and I seem to remember a picnic table taking the journey down the stairs to the basement, so we could continue the party out of the rain!

Memories.

Memories are what life is built on. Memories, at times, are all you have. As I look back on my life Tom is alive and vibrant in my memories - and I will keep him there safe and sound for any time I may want to transport back to a happier place. So many of our family have moved on to celebrate with us from another place. I know they are in heaven gathered together, welcoming Tom into the Kingdom in a manner only the Corvo family can. If I close my eyes I can see them all...every one of them. In my mind they are happy. Happy to see Tom again. The Christmas lights are on and the drinks are flowing, and the laughter is filling the air - and in the forefront of that vision, I can see a father, reunited with his son - and I can feel the weight on my heart right now of the love that was exchanged at the very moment they saw each other again.

Linda and Family, I'm so very sorry about Tom's passing and your loss. Just knowing Tom, I know he was loved. He was such a light, he put laughter in our hearts and a smile on our faces. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

You are all in my thoughts and my prayers!

Superman gone but not forgotton!!

To The Corvo Family,

It has been many years since I attended Tom's senior prom with him, but I have many fond memories. Tom was a charmer and a great friend.

My deepest condolences to all you you.

Dear Corvo Family
I know I haven't been in your lives and I am sorry for that. I keep thinking back to when the Corvo cousins were kids growing up and young adults. We were very close then and I will always remember Tom that way. He was a lot like his Father, a comedian and a good master of ceremonies.I remember taking him to the park one day when he was little. He was in a stroller. He got on a ride, fell off, and I wound up running home and he wound up with stitches. I felt so bad. He was one of a kind. I loved him very much and will miss him. Even tho I didn't see him much in recent years, he was always in my heart and I knew he was out there.

Great Guy and will truly be missed.
