On February 22, Thomas "Tom" Gioeli left his Earthly presence.

Tom leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Joyce (Kirby); sons Ken and Phillip, granddaughters Kayla (her husband Derek) and Jessica, and great-grandchildren Dallas, Donavan and Evelyn. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Michael and JoAnn and Cousin Delores who was like a sister.  Also survived by many friends and family.

Tom grew up in the Buffalo, NY area and last resided in Palm City, FL.  He was a hard-working man with careers in grocery management, newspaper distribution management and banking logistics. When he wasn't working, Tom spent his time gardening, reading, creating art, and trying his hand at the casino.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for platelet apheresis donations which can help patients with a myriad of illnesses. Check with your local blood donation center about this special type of blood donation.
