Tom was born July 10, 1942, in New York, NY to Anthony and Margaret Scebelo. He grew up in Manhattan before his family moved to Hackensack, NJ, where he graduated from Hackensack High School.
He spent his entire 40 plus year career at Citibank before retiring as a Vice President.
Tom met his future wife Mary Lou at a church dance in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. They were married at St. Leo’s Roman Catholic Church in Elmwood Park, NJ in 1962. The long-time residents of New Fairfield moved to their “forever home” in 1982. They traveled together to Switzerland, Hawaii, Australia, London, Italy and Quebec. One of their favorite places to visit was Washington, D.C.
