Robert W. Tomm Sr.
Alfred Station
Robert William Tomm, 81, of Alfred Station passed away Saturday (June 26, 2010) surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Buffalo, November 9, 1928, he grew up in the Town of Tonawanda and graduated from Tonawanda High School. He was a 1948 graduate of Alfred State College. He and his wife Shirley opened their own family run business, "Tip Top Eggs" which is still proudly running to this day at the "Big Chicken". Bob was a member of the Andover Central School Board of Education, the Alfred Station Town Board, and actively coached both Little League and Babe Ruth Leagues for several years. Bob's wife, children, and family were of great comfort to him in his final weeks. Although Bob was not able to say goodbye to all of those that touched his life, he asked that we share his words: "We laughed, we shared, and we've made memories." Memories and traditions are what mattered most to Bob and he made sure his family felt the same way. Bob always wished that you would laugh, enjoy life and know how greatly you have touched his life and his heart.
He was predeceased by his Mother, Florena Tomm.
He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Shirley Tomm, sons, Robert (Gloria) Tomm Jr. of Alfred Station, Steven (Debra) Tomm of Alfred Station, his daughters, Laura (James) Davis and Cindy (Wayne) Davis both of Apalachin, and Denise (Tom) Silvanic of Owego, 18 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, all of whom he loved dearly. The family extends sincere thanks to Bob's special friend, Larry, Dr. Coch, Dr. Ramanarayan, Roswell Park Memorial Hospital, and volunteer, David Day.

Charles Emerson officiating. Burial will be in Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Andover.
