Predeceased by his father, Thomas Bentivegna, Sr.; his mother, Theresa Bentivegna; his brother, Santo Bentivegna; and his daughter, Sarah Bentivegna.

Tom was a quiet man with a friendly and easy-going demeanor, liked by everyone who met him. He was known for his impressive landscaping skills, dedicating many years to the profession. When he wasn't working, Tom enjoyed tending to his own yard and gardens, as well as those of his family and friends. He had a deep love for animals, especially his cherished dog, Jack. When he wasn't outside, Tom enjoyed watching baseball, basketball, and football, and was a die-hard fan of the New York Yankees and Washington Commanders.

Tom's gentle spirit and kind heart will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of hard work, love for nature, and compassion for animals will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
