Thomas R.P. Diamanti, Sr., age 53, died Saturday November 1, 2008 at his residence in Burlington Township. Mr. Diamanti was born in Mount Holly and was a lifelong resident of Burlington City and Burlington Township. He was a veteran of the US Navy, serving during the Vietnam War. He was employed as a produce manager for Pathmark in Grey’s Ferry. He was a former special police officer for the City of Burlington Police Dept. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who enjoyed crabbing, cooking and mowing the lawn.
He especially enjoyed the Christmas season and couldn’t wait to begin decorating for the holiday. He enjoyed shopping for just the right Christmas tree and always found one that required substantial trimming just to get it into the house. He was known by his family as a loving husband and father and by those that knew him as a good man who would do whatever he could to help. Thomas was predeceased by his mother Catherine (nee Janson) Diamanti, who died in 2001.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years Susan (nee Wood), his sons Tom, Jr. and Anthony, his father Alfred Diamanti, Sr., his brothers and sisters in law Alfred, Jr. and Cheryl, Peter and John and Linda. He is also survived by his aunt and uncle, Marlene and Arthur Diamanti, Sr., as well as many nieces, nephews and very close friends. Tom’s family invites relatives and friends to his visitation and memorial service on Wednesday November 5, 2008.
