Thomas A. Lanese

THOMAS A. “TOMMY” LANESE, age 68. Beloved husband for 42 years of Paulette (nee Amato); cherished father of Therese Lanese-Turkish (Mike); loving grandfather of Geneva and Roman; dearest son of Nell (nee Roman) and the late Thomas “Timmy”; dear brother of Bonnie and Mary.

A former resident of Cleveland Heights for 40 years, Tommy had worked as a Security Guard at MBNA. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, playing cards and spending time with his grandchildren and family. He was a gentle “”teddy bear”” who could be stubborn at times but was sensitive enough to enjoy opera. He will be greatly missed by many.
