On the evening of Saturday, April 11th, Thomas S Stevens Sr. passed on from this world. He is survived by his wife Diana, sister Jeanie Hendrie, daughters Jennifer Stevens and Valerie Andres, sons Thomas Stevens Jr. and Joseph Stevens, two grandchildren Madeleine and Luke Andres, and his chihuahua Scooter.
Tom Stevens was a family man and restaurateur. He was sarcastic, witty, and humorously warm hearted. His vibrant laughter and spirit will be remembered by many. No Sunday pasta dinner will be the same, a glass will forever be raised in his honor.
Born in Rochester, N.Y. in August of 1938, and later raised in South Buffalo, Tom began his restaurant career in New York, later acquiring restaurants in Vermont and New Hampshire. Tom loved family time, family dinners, boating, reading, very long baths, playing cards, travel, and the peace & quiet of country life. He will live forever in the memory of those whose lives he touched. Both Thomas Jr. and Joseph have followed in their father's footsteps into the restaurant business, and will forever cherish the knowledge he bequeathed them throughout their lives. Thomas Stevens Sr. will be forever loved and missed.
