I knew Tommy growing up in San Francisco and extended Maltese family and friends networking. We met again as teenagers and it was Tommy who gave me the ok to go ahead and get my first car. He had to approve of the type I was buying. He was driving his black GTO at the time. He loved taking the boat on the bay, no matter how high the waves which created lots of green tinges on many friends faces. His love of family and fun were contagious. He was always smiling and upbeat and very mature for his age. He will be remembered as a kind and wonderful human being and friend.##imported-begin##Marlene Fenech Haering##imported-end##

Tom and I hit it off the first time we met. We were building the house across the street, as he was getting ready to build his. He asked me for a bid, and the next thing I know, we were building His and Janets’ new home. What a good client, who became a good friend. He was very meticulous in his ways, lucky for me, so was I. We built the house, having some fun along the way. A cerveza once in a while, an abaloni lunch here and there. After the frame was done I enjoyed several great fishing trips with Tom, when the salmon fishing was still good on our coast. I swung by the house almost every time I came over the hill. He always asked how Ivan and Benny and the rest of the gang were doing. I was just thinking about Tom, about a month ago, as yet another salmon season was coming, and make sure Tommy was hanging in there. As fate has it, I ran into Carla today, who told me of the news. I am deeply saddened, and I wish his family peace. I will not forget him.Jeff##imported-begin##Jeff Adasiewicz##imported-end##

My memories of Tom will always be a strong and very sensitive man who just loved life done his way. And he had a great life. He was fun, honest, wanted everyone to be happy. He loved being Maltese and had great fun speaking his version of the language, which made him always laugh out loud. Tom refused to let his Leukemia get the best of him. He forged through many chemotherapy sessions. When Tom was given the choice of “quality” of life vs. “quantity” …… he changed his mind and took quantity. Tom was not ready to quit! He wanted to finish living out his life. I wish he could have continued his wish. I will miss his love to me and his passion of the sea.##imported-begin##Janet##imported-end##

What can you say about a man with such an appreciation of life? It never ceased to amaze us that through every single stage of his lingering illness he accepted the burden with grace and determination. All an impossible task without Janet by his side. We’re sure that we will forever wait for his car to round the bend of our road and the smile and wave and frequent conversations. But he’s not far away and his spirit walks the coastal paths and pier enjoying his beloved ocean and incredible sunsets.##imported-begin##Lou and Corinne Lazarus##imported-end##

Janet:To you and your family and Thom’s family, may the good Lord watch over you during this trying time. I know how much you loved Thom and I am so sorry he had to leave you. You are a wonderful lady Janet and remember all that you did for your loving husband. Now he can hook-up with David Gazlay and share stories.##imported-begin##Linda Loeffler##imported-end##

Tom Cuschieri was the most honest, direct, trustworthy person I ever met. When Tom gave his word, it was the etched in stone. We worked together on a project that would have buckled most mens’ knees. Tom never flinched. He made sure that everything we set out to accomplish happened. I valued Tom’s opinion and always hoped that I had his approval. Tom Cuschieri was a man. God blessed him in life and will continue to bless him in eternity..##imported-begin##Robert Caruso##imported-end##

Janet- we’ll miss seeing Tom, who was always so gracious and kind. Every time he saw us on a walk, when he was building the house, he stopped working to talk. He was always interested in what we had to say, and had a lot of great advice for us when we needed it. Tom liked and cared about everyone, and everyone who knew him loved him.We’re praying for God to comfort you and your family, and everyone who knew Tom and loved him.Jay & Lynda##imported-begin##Jay & Lynda Weir##imported-end##

Janet,I want you to know that I am thinking of you every day. I’m shocked really at the news. I remember going out on New Year’s Eve to a party on the Coast and Tom there with another woman. You had the hots for him for sure and you finally hooked him. My God it must have been around 1986. I still have the picture of the three of us running the Bay to Breakers . We all looked so happy. Probably because we were glad to be finished the race and heading for breakfast. How wonderful that you had so many years together! Tom was so brave all the years he was ill and you my friend Janet are a great trooper. God Bless you Tom! I hope you are having the time of your life in heaven!Ronnie##imported-begin##Ronnie Bergin##imported-end##
