Born in 1926, Tom was raised in Philadelphia PA by his parents Thomas and Rose D'Alessandro. As a young teenager, He enlisted to serve in WWII as a Navy electrician's mate from 1944 to 1946. While aboard the destroyer 678 (USS Mcgowan,) he earned several ribbons: Pacific Theater Ribbon (4 Stars,) American Theater Ribbon, Victory Medal & Philippine Liberation Ribbon (1 Star.) On his return from the service, Tom began his career in Photogravure, pre-press & printing industry. He was nicknamed "Doc" by his last employer due to his technical/managerial capacity to fix or solve any occurring operational problems.

He married his beloved wife Genevieve in 1952. Hobbies, interests and talents included amateur radio, golf, fishing, sailing, painting, wine making, home renovation & photography. His primary love was saved for his family, who will all miss him dearly.
