In 2005, with Tom’s corporate business experience and his wife’s title background, he and his wife moved to Palm Coast and proudly founded their title insurance agency, TITLE CHAIN, INC., still operating located in the Hammock. Tom was a man of deep faith which led him to say the rosary daily. He truly enjoyed quiet time at home with his wife and their two dogs, Izzie and Felicia. Preceded in death by his parents John and Gertrude Villano.
