Jon Andrew Tomasi passed away, sadly, on Monday, October 10, 2016, at his home in Barre, VT, after struggling with multiple medical conditions. He was born on January 25, 1951, in Montpelier, the third child of Dr. Ernest and Barbara (Rogers) Tomasi, who preceded him in death. Jon attended Montpelier schools and Lyndon Institute. He was a "rolling stone" and enjoyed travelling. He met Nora, the mother of his first child, and they moved to Pennsylvania, where Jon worked in a steel mill. He lived in Pennsylvania for about eight years. Upon returning to Vermont, he met Victoria and they settled into the Montpelier area, where they raised six children. Later, he relocated to Boston, where he volunteered to support those receiving services for HIV needs. Jon was well liked and received written accolades for his efforts there. When Jon returned to Vermont, he continued to help those less fortunate than himself. Jon often volunteered at the local Food Bank. Jon is survived by his four sons: Eric, of Washington D.C., (Eric's mother, Nora (Pfaff)); Jonathan (Abigail) of Chatham, N.J.; Andrew (Drew) ((Kaitlyn) of New Milford, N.J.; Tory (Sarah) of Barre, VT and three daughters: Andria (Jeremy) Derose of Eden, VT; Molly (Royce) Lussier, of Berlin, VT; and Allena, of Berlin, VT. He also leaves Victoria Emerson, of Connecticut, the mother of his six children; and ten grandchildren. He is also survived by sisters: Linda (Tom) Babic, of Washington, VT; and Barbara (Bill) Tomasi-Gay, of Montpelier, VT and brothers: Tom Tomasi of Montpelier, VT; Peter (Donna) Tomasi, of Barre, VT; Tim (Vivian) Tomasi, of Montpelier, VT and many nieces and nephews. Jon loved his children, who are all successful and contributing members of their communities. Special thanks to Jeff Gregoire, Cindy Peduzzi and Sandy McKinney for their support and guidance during this difficult time. Memorial contributions may be made to the Vermont Food Bank, 33 Parker Road, Barre, VT 05641 or the American Diabetes Association, 77 Hegeman Avenue, Colchester, VT 05446.
