He also cherished his Saturday morning breakfasts with his family.  

He will be sadly missed by his three children, Maria Parille and her husband Rev. John Parille, Pasquale Tomaino and his wife, Lynn, and Frank Tomaino and his wife, Carrieann and his most beloved grandsons, Joseph, Justin and Michael Tomaino.  He was predeceased by several brothers and sisters and is survived by his brother, Arnold Tomaino along with many nieces and nephews.
