Peppaceno - Thomas R. "Tommy" passed after a brief but fierce battle with cancer on August 12, 2022 at the age of 57. Born on July 20, 1965 in Brooklyn, NY. Tommy stood as the rock for many people from the beginning and was a legend in his own right. If anyone in his life needed anything; they knew to call him. He loved to travel and used every opportunity to take car rides, whether it was a quick ride to Starbucks or a road trip to California or Las Vegas. Tommy had a successful run as a business owner. Whether it was a deli, a car wash or horticulture; he would throw focus on the small details for success. Thomas was most proud of his family; biological or not. Dedicated son of Patricia. Beloved husband of Linda. Devoted father of Matthew, Thomas, Nicholas, Amanda, and countless other children he stepped up for. Adored brother of Gina (Robert) Haskell, Robert "Bobby,” and Douglas. Family will receive friends Saturday, 1-4 pm, at the Charles J. O'Shea Funeral Homes, 2515 N Jerusalem Road (Exit 25N SS PKWY) East Meadow, NY.
