Tom was the beloved son of the late Thomas P. DiCioccio and Margaret Keevers and was predeceased by his brother, Michael DiCioccio.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Linda DiCioccio; his daughters, Lisa Martin and her husband, Tommy, and Meghan Wolf and her husband, Michael. He was a proud and loving grandfather to Izabella, Jordan, Kaylee, and Taylor, and a cherished great-grandfather to Aaliyah, Farrah, and Amiyah.

For more than 40 years, Tom dedicated his career to John Oldham Studios in Wethersfield, where he worked as a skilled custom crate maker.
Outside of work, Tom embraced life to the fullest. He was a devoted fan of UConn Women’s Basketball and a diehard Raiders fan who never missed the chance to cheer on his teams. He loved spending time glamping in Rhode Island and treasured every moment shared with his beloved family and friends. Whether gathered around a campfire, watching a game, or simply enjoying each other’s company, Tom found his greatest happiness in the people he loved.
Tom was also blessed with lifelong friendships that meant the world to him. His best friends—Paul Reynolds, Paul Privizzini, Andy Russo, and Corry Babcock—shared countless memories, laughter, and adventures with him over the years. Their friendship was a constant source of joy throughout his life.
Tom will be remembered for his generous heart, his sense of humor, his loyalty, and the unconditional love he gave to those around him. His legacy lives on through the family he cherished and the many lives he touched.
