Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss, as you have had a lifetime of grief compacted into the last six months. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the whole Sarlo family. We have lost a good friend and "family" member.



We will remember TJ for being a very special man who could make you laugh at any time, and he genuinely cared about the people who were in his life. A quick phone call and a joke from him would brighten your day. His imitation of Donald Duck could put a smile on a small child's face. TJ had a special talent with cars and he could fix any problem you had with them, electronic or mechanical. His four beautiful children are his legacy and TJ will live on through them.



We know you are up there TJ, putting smiles on the angels in heaven.



Love,

Marilyn & John

To the Family of Tom (TJ Sarlo):



My condolences to you all - you've lost a good guy. The T.J. I remember made Boot Camp & ITR a little easier with good jokes and singing pop songs. T.J., you've now joined Teddy, Liberty, Grogan and other great guys.

Semper Fi,

Blair

My dear family:

The loss we feel for you goes beyond grief. We lost a wonderful human being, the likes of which we'll probably never see again. We'll miss his warmth, humor and caring about all of us. Most of all we'll miss his calling out of the blue to tell uw a joke. We only wish that we could have enjoyed him longer, but will treasure the time we had together. Love always, Aunty Mary, Marilyn and Joey Sarlo

the passing of T.J. As his adopted uncle and aunt we loved T.J. He was a great friend to us and to our family. He has a wonderful family and I know he had a great deal of friends. We lost a lot of close friends in the past 5 months and we know that T.J. is there with them

and taking center stage with his jokes and humor. Our condolenses

go out to LuAnn and the kids on their great loss.
