I don’t know Steve or Tommy’s current girlfriend. Tommy and my Dad, who is no longer with us and probably turning in his grave about now, were very close. My father treated him like a son. It wasn’t until my father died that Tommy’s scams have come to light. I know for a fact he has scamed my family and others from the Sons of Italy of which my father was Vice-Pres. Up until one month ago Tommy was calling and trying to get my elderly mother to turn over her annuity to him to be invested in yet another scam. Thank God we didn’t fall for it this time. A few years ago Tommy tried stealing thousands from my mother and it took 2 years to recover it once a family member got involved and threaten to turn him in. It was another Ponzi scam of his. I wish that he was turned in at that time because there wouldn’t have been more victims. My mother is heartbroken over Tommy and I’m just mad! About Assess Health that someone mentioned–we also lost thousands on that stock scam of Tommy’s. We at the time thought Tommy was a victim too—We now know the truth! Sorry May, but Tommy isn’t the guy you think he is.
Steven Petrarca is our father. Maybe that makes our opinion biased, but we are allowed one just the same. He has taught us about values, respect, courage, and morals. He is a hard working man, an honest and loving man, We love our dad, and stand behind him because we know he would not lie or decieve anyone. He and our mom are good people, hard working people.
As for “mike and mary” who seem to think this is a hot body contest and want to pretend you met our dad twice, when you have sat at his table on many a holiday, and slip in your cruel and hurtful comment about our mother “giving up a baby”,when you know fully well that she was given up for adoption to a good home, because our mom was 18, you also know that we have since found her and all of us are very close. Where does your son live again Michelle, I mean “Mary and Mike”or “May” and our mother has never been in jail, can you say the same? If you dislike my parents so much, why don’t you stop calling them for money? They have been nothing but good to both you and Tom, treated you like family.. That stupid comment, did you forget you already tried to apologize for saying it the first time? Or was that “so long ago” like the last time you came to our house high? That was as “far back” as Christmas right when we had to hold off dinner because you took Tom’s car to buy more drugs, then you both left as soon as you came back. He who lives in a glass house, shouldn’t throw stones. Devote your prayers to yourself.
Steven Petrarca is my brother and he was not brought up to cheat and steal from anyone,
He comes from a good family, and good family morals, as for Tom well I went to school with him way back in the 70’s if there’s anyone who knows a him its me and he is trouble, really not a good person he never wanted to work for a living just skate by with what ever means he can, as for his girl friend we all know what’s up with her a brass pole.
I know my brother will get thought this because he’s a good person and hard worker.
How fortunate you must be to never have had any of your tough life decisions questioned by people who know nothing of what you went through. I am the 36 year old “baby” that Joyce “gave away”. I would never question the choice that she felt she had to make when she was 18 years old and frankly who the hell are you? That decision has no impact on you. It affected our lives- and more importantly, it has NOTHING to do with these charges.
As for referring to the kind of man that would marry a woman that had that kind of a choice to make- I don’t see how you can tie one thing to the other. There have been millions of babies put up for adoption. Should those women be destined to a life of solitude because they chose NOT to abort their children?I think you should examine your own values and maybe your own relationship. Steve obviously loves Joyce dearly.
Steven Petrarca is a wonderful, caring man. He has only been good to me in the time that I have known him and has accepted me as part of his family. He introduces me as his daughter. I consider myself very lucky to have this addition of Joyce, Steve, Amanda and Stephen in my life. We all have a good relationship. It’s sad that you feel you need to hit below the belt.

My father was scammed by Tommy. He trusted Tommy because of the Sons of Italy of which they were both members. Tommy and his “partner” ARE con-artists. They tricked my father and his friends and used the trust of their fellow club members of the Sons of Italy, which club is just as responsible to allow such people to solicit to its members and scam them.
What ever the verdict it in this particular arrest, both Tommy and Steve deserve it. They knew what they did was wrong. They just never thought the money would run out and they would be found out.
I can promise this, I will see to it that Tommy is held accountable for the suffering he has caused my father and his friends.
…and being hauled out of his house in handcuffs is going to be the least of his worries!
To; Steve’s children…it is right to stand by your father, just as I will stand by mine until justice is served. Many a criminal’s children have stood by them, it doesn’t make it right what they did.
To; Those who are defending Steve and blaming Tommy…they are both guilty. don’t tell me that Steve didn’t know what the deal was. if he is so innocent, he’ll make a deal for himself and “sell Tommy down the road”. That’s the way of crime!
I’ll forgive everyone involved in this when MY fathers gets his hard earned money back!!!!!!!!!
I have known Tommy for many years and he is one the best people I have ever met. He would NEVER do anything to hurt a soul. He always stood by his friends and family and for all you people who write bad things about this man…SHAME ON YOU!!! It’s obvious you don’t know him like I do. I have been in his car when we came across a dog that had been hit by a car and he stopped and brought the dog to a vet, paid all of the vet bills and made sure the dog was returned it’s owner, a 12 year old boy who was sick that his dog got lost. Does this sound like the animal you people are portaying him to be? We are all behind you Big Guy, keep your head high and your chin up. YOU WILL beat this.
I have known Tom ever since he moved to Fla. I did businnes with Tom and was very pleased. He is a great guy. As far as this Steve guy goes, don’t know him, glad i never met him. i would like to say this to all those people who are on saying all bad things about tom. he was good to me. and i feel if one is guilty then they both are guilty no matter what. tom my wife and i wish you the best of luck and we were always pleased with you
Your ALL a bunch of IDIOTS! This is about TWO con artist. If Steve’s brother knew all along about Tommy, then why didn’t Steve?? I find that odd. Tommy will burn in hell.
Signed all of his “friends” from the Sons of Italy.
Lets get something straight, my name is on my comment, so I am not hiding behind a secret e-mail, My brother judges people on his own not on what people tell him even if its me his brother.
A con artist took him in. He always gives someone the benefit of doubt.
Like I said before I am behind him 100% and so isn’t his whole family, He has our support no matter what happens because we love our brother, he will not run or duck reasonability nor has he ever.
