Tom was born in Rocca D'Arce, Italy, on August 16, 1930, to the late Bernardo and Maria (Santoro) Leone. After working in Rome as a tailor, he immigrated to the United States in 1955 and lived the American Dream, owning Leone's Clothiers & Tailors for fifty years providing tuxedos and tailoring services to many generations. If you were married or went to a high school dance, chances are you met Tom. Tom was happiest when surrounded by his family and friends, whom he loved deeply. He loved vacationing with his family at the beach and Wildwood NJ was a favorite spot. He was always the life of the party- loving hard, laughing loud and living big. He enjoyed every minute of his 90 years and his smile will never be forgotten.
He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Virginia (Rea) Leone; daughters Mary (Gary) Sawall, Lore Rossi and Tina Rook, grandchildren, Michael (Michelle) Sawall, Stephen (Amanda) Sawall, Adam Sawall, Sydney, Camryn and Thomas Rook, great-grandson, Erik Sawall, siblings, Carlo (Colette) Leone of Seneca Falls, Antoinette Colafrancesco of France, Rocca (Nino) Testa and Maria Pia DiMezza of Italy; mother-in-law, Loreta Rea of Michigan, brothers-in-law, Marco (Kat Kirschke) Rea of Seneca Falls and Bernardo Iacone of Italy, sisters-in-law, Sylvia (Benito) Zagaroli and Maria (Pasquale) Rea of Michigan, and Gina (Ermanno) Arcese of Italy, and many cousins, nieces and nephews and numerous friends.
He was pre-deceased by his son-in-law, Alan Rossi, sister, Teresa Iacone, and brothers-in-law, Bernardo DiMezza and Rocco Colafrancesco.
