Hamilton's Tom Finochio Loved to Play His Guitar (RIP)

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of  Hamilton musician Tom Finochio. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.

The following was posted on his cousin Fred Finocchio's page:

My friends and family today, I must inform you that on Saturday Feb 28 at 4pm my cousin Tom (Thomas Albert Finochio) passed away from a heart attack. Tom was in his 70th year. He was loved by many and will be missed by all.

He was a great musician he just loved to play guitar as all his friends and family know. At this time we have no plans for a celebration of life but if and when I will post it. If anyone that had been close to him would like to talk to me please don’t hesitate. Thank you all for your friendship with Tom.
