Tom served in the United States Army and was a proud Veteran.

Tom was the owner/operator of The White Dog Tavern in Danby, VT for over 30 years. His passion for food and the importance of family, hard work, hospitality, and just being together were instilled in everything he did. He loved the simple life of playing cards, watching sports, cooking, and enjoying a meal with family and friends.

Tom is the oldest brother of the late Harry C. Musso and Alice "Babe" Tillinghast. He is survived by younger siblings Richard "Dickie" Musso (wife Terry) of Florida, Linda Kirk (husband Matthew) of Florida, and Donna Florio of Rhode Island.

In lieu of flowers the family requests you plant a tree in Tom's memory. Choose a location of your choice, but we suggest choosing Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont.
