75, of St. Louis, MO passed away on Friday, May 24th, 2019.
Survived by wife of 50 years Joanie Aguilera, son Thomas Jr. (Tia) Aguilera, granddaughter Katelyn Monaco, daughter Tamara Aguilera, step-son John (Jenny) Kochera, niece Stacie LaPresto, nephew Jason (Laura) Hogan, and sister Suzanne (Thomas) Hogan. Preceded in death by mother Ethel Aguilera-LaPresto, brother Lawrence LaPresto, brother Anthony LaPresto and nephew Benjamin LaPresto.
Tom was a laid-back retiree whose life was all about anything related to hot rods. His friends will say he is a one of a kind strong-willed man of character; tell it like it is kind of man, ready to defend his family in a fist fight even as an old man, yet would run to pick up a fallen fellow elderly lady even if it meant almost going down with her.
Always tickled by the idiosyncrasies of life, for he was a simple man who lead a care free life.
Visitation at Kutis Funeral Home 10151 Gravois Road, St. Louis, Mo 63123 on Friday May 31, 2019 from 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Private burial service at later date for immediate family and close friends.
