Tom Massimini (born Ciro Mazzone), age 84, passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, June 3, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in 1942 in Sala Consilina, Italy, his life was a remarkable story of resilience, courage, and perseverance. After losing his father during World War II, Tom’s mother made the difficult decision to send him to America at the age of ten in hopes of a better life. After being placed for adoption he started that life and became known to family and friends as Tom Massimini. Tom built a beautiful life in America. After meeting the love of his life, Joan, he was eventually reunited with his family in Italy.

Tom was known for his optimism, strength, quick wit, and ability to find humor even during life’s most difficult moments. No matter what challenges came his way, he faced them with determination and a smile. Playing the guitar in his youth with a local band, he would later proudly share stories of opening for The Platters, Fats Domino, and Chuck Berry at the Tower Theater. He was also known for his storytelling, maintaining connections with family members across continents and of course his homemade limoncello.

An avid golfer, Tom found great joy on the golf course. After the passing of his beloved wife Joan in 2001, he was fortunate to find companionship and happiness again with his partner Ann as they formed many lasting friendships in the local golfing community. The friends he made in his later years became an important part of his life who provided unwavering friendship and support, especially after Ann’s passing in 2017. Those friendships helped sustain him throughout the years.

He is survived by his daughters Lisa Bradley (James) and Stephanie Mazzone Scanlan (Richard); his son, Michael Massimini (Andrea); and his cherished grandchildren, James, Elizabeth, Gabriel, and Carmen. He is also survived by his sister-in-laws Blandina Mazzone and Silvana Aumenta and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Joan, his son, Mark, his parents; his brothers, Giuseppe, Michele, Antonio, and Aldo and his longtime partner, Ann.

Tom’s legacy is one of perseverance, love, family, courage and hard work. Tom will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

The family finds comfort in knowing Tom is reunited with those he loved who passed before him, sharing stories, laughter, and perhaps even a glass of homemade limoncello.

Relatives and Friends are invited to his Viewing, Saturday, June 27th, 10:00 AM – 11:45 AM followed by his Life Celebration 12:00 NOON in the Main Chapel at the DAnjolell Memorial Home of Broomall, 2811 West Chester Pike, Broomall, PA 19008. Interment Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery.

Those wishing to honor Tom’s memory are encouraged to spend time with family, share a story, and never miss an opportunity to tell the people they love how much they mean.

See Condolences

Lisa, Stephanie and Michael: My deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved Dad. I've know Tom for over 59 years and he was truly one of the good guys. We shared many a laugh, especially when he would tease me. I will miss him and his beautiful smile, terribly. I am broken hearted. Love and hugs to all, Mary❤️

I’m very sorry for your family’s loss. I met Tom in 1999 when I started working with him in Lebanon after he came up from Smedley St. He taught me everything I know about work and gave me tons of life lessons and great stories over the years. Even his later years he could run circles around the younger guys. After retiring he would still text me every year to get in the March Madness pool and he and I went golfing quite a few times as well. I’ll miss the occasional lemon cello and what he called Italian Yak (roast beef). Tom (Ciro) you will me missed!! Thanks for everything. Say hi to Reginald(Reggie) for us.

My deepest condolences to you and your family with the passing of your father. My husband, Richard Baxter, golfed with him. Richard loved Tom and his limoncello! Your father was such a fine gentleman. Richard passed away in September 2025. Hopefully they are back on the course!!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
