“The testament to a great man is the quality of family that he helped mold and shape. That being said, Tom must have been an extrodinary man, because his two sons both are men to be proud of. Both sons have loving families and beautiful children. Tom taught them simple lessons through quality time spent at football games. He would tell them, “You never give up on your team. You have to believe.” I know that his sons never gave up on him, either. My condolences go to out to his dedicated wife, Liz, who fought this as hard as he did. My hope is that she finds peace in the hugs of her children and grandchildren. The country thanks him for his years of service, as the Navy is a tough life that often takes away the ones we love.

“I have few memories of VP-68 without Tom in them. One of my fondest memories of Tom is when we were selected for ATC. After he and I had determined that we were destined to retire as First Class Petty Officers, we were both selected for Chief Petty Officer in 1989. Tom was Class Leader for our pre-promotion training syllabus. Problems, obstacles, traditions and rites of passage were all minor tasks at hand, Tom lead his class through all of them, while flashing a small grin. Life was good, he had been selected for Chief by one of the toughest selection boards in the Navy. When working with Tom in the workcenter or Maintenance Control (like CPO selectee class leader) he got the job done while always taking care of his people. Liz and family, We send our sincerest condolences, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Joe and Jeanie Odenthal “
“To the Servello Family. My condolences to you and yours. Tom was a wonderful man and Shipmate! His positive and invaluable impact on many thousands of lives, first as a Shipmate, and then as a Teacher, will never, ever, be fully known. Personally speaking, Tom was a great Chief to work for in VP-68. He was also a caring and compassionate leader and role model. I am glad I had the chance to tell him that when I came aboard Eagle in Feb 2010 as a co-worker. Tom was a familiar and smiling face from our tour together in VP-68 and he greeted me with open arms and a warm hug. I will miss our conversations on many levels. We both shared an Italian heritage and loved talking about Italy, the food and wine. It was an especially high level topic! Family and Shipmates, it really is the little things in life, covet them! You all are most in my thoughts and prayers. “
“To the Servello family: I met Tom when he came to work for RBC, teaching our sailors how to use the new navigation system.

“Tom taught me that it’s better to face a snake with an 8-iron than a 1-iron, to take advantage of the club’s open face. He taught me this in 1980 driving in my father’s car on the Beltway up to see the Kemper Open. We were stranded when my father’s car had a stuck thermometer and overheated. While my father used a hammer and screwdriver to pop open the thermostat, Tom headed over the hill and into a ravine to scoop up water in a nearby creek to refill the radiator. I’ve never forgotten the quick wit and smile that was ever-present. My deepest condolences to Liz, “Ace”, and Jeff. “
“Liz, What a wonderful family you and Tom have raised. To the Servello Family, Tom was a great man who made the difference to all he met. His passion for the greater good and his desire to help his fellow Sailors, will be felt in the Fleet for years to come. Godspeed.”
“For Liz, Chris and Jeff and your wonderful families: Tom touched many lives. I was moved to hear Chris speak so eloquently of Tom today. He was the Dad who made a place in their lives. I can hear his easy-going advice during those sticky moments of childhood. He was the same way with his colleagues: always upbeat, positive and quick with a word of encouragement. We shall all miss him. “
