He had a special bond with his dogs, midnight and Ben. Later in life, Thomas found the love of Jesus. He will always be remembered for his great smile, jokester personality and above all, a great husband and father.

Dorsi of Newark, Shawn M. Langley (Jennie) of Old Saybrook, CT and Joseph S. Langley (Christina) of Aurora, CO; sisters, Patty A. Corea (Mark) of Millsboro and Mary A.

Dear Patty, Mary and his beloved family he leaves behind. I was shocked to hear the passing of Tommy. We are never truly prepared to lose our loved one, it’s the hardest thing to come to grips with, but oh how I smile when reading Tommy had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That means he wanted his name added into the lambs book of life, to have the assurance of a eternal home, as Gods word tells us in John 3:16. May our precious savior surround you all with so much love, comfort, and peace that will surpass all understanding that reminds us in Philippians 4:7
The Peace Of God, Which Surpasses All Understanding, Will Guard Your Hearts And Minds Through Christ Jesus: Philippians 4:7
Much love and heartfelt condolences from my heart to yours! 😞

I met Tom through his landscaping business and we quickly became friends. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He will be missed for his smile, his values of doing and being proud of his work and caring and respecting others. He always had time to chat no matter what his schedule looked like for the day. He put his heart and soul into his business. He touched my heart. May God be with him and his family.

This message is for Angela. My dear Sweet Sister in Christ. We only met recently and you shared the joy of your obedience to Christ. My heart aches that you lost your husband. But I’m so relieved that both of you have become children of God. You can live on in the hope of seeing your beloved husband again one day in heaven. May God bless you and comfort you in your sorrow.
