Thomas James Tumminia

Tom is survived by his wife of 50 years, Mary Jean (Lorraine) and his brothers Robert and Eugene. He was preceded in death by his parents Mary (Turk) and James, sister Catherine Mckenna and his beloved son Jeremy Robert Tummina.

Tom honorably served his country in the US Airforce during the Vietnam War. He was a Political Science USF graduate. He earned both his Private Pilot and USCG Captain Licenses.

Tom treated the natural environment, animals and fellow human beings with respect, concern and humor. He approached life's challenges with creativity, thoughtfulness, hope and an open mind.

Tom will be remembered most for his love of life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
