EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF THOMAS F. LEPORE

     Introduced By: Senators Thompson, and Murray

     Date Introduced: January 12, 2026

     Referred To: Placed on the Senate Consent Calendar

     WHEREAS, It is with deep sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of Thomas

F. Lepore of Cumberland. Mr. Lepore was born in Pawtucket, the son of the late Frank and

Beatrice Lepore; and

     WHEREAS, Thomas Lepore was a self-made man and a highly successful businessman

who was the founder and President of Lepore Construction. Mr. Lepore was a jack of all trades

who operated heavy equipment by trade but was also skilled in carpentry, plumbing, auto

mechanics and electrical work. It seemed as if there wasn't anything Mr. Lepore couldn’t do, and

if he couldn't do it, he would grab a book and teach himself how to do it; and

     WHEREAS, In his free time, Thomas Lepore enjoyed spending time at home or near

home. He enjoyed riding his Harley to the beach or the Foster Fair to watch the tractor pulls. He

also enjoyed reading about history and travelling to historic places. His favorite thing to do,

however, was to spend time with his grandchildren; and

     WHEREAS, Thomas Lepore is survived by his daughters, Rebecca Lepore, Jennifer

Menzone, and her husband, David, and Amanda Raspallo and her husband, Alexander as well as

his grandchildren, Lilliana Menzone, Lucas Pora, Layla Pora, and Harper Raspallo, and his

fiancé, Robyn Jolicouer. Mr. Lepore was a beloved father figure to Robyn's children, Maddison

and Miles. Mr. Lepore also leaves behind his siblings, Rita Patras, Deborah Tully, Christine

Mockler, Frank Lepore, Joseph Lepore, Steve Lepore, Tammy Champeau, and James Lepore. Mr.

Lepore was predeceased by his brother, Peter Lepore; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby expresses its deepest

condolences on the passing of Thomas F. Lepore; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Rebecca Lepore, Jennifer Menzone, and

Amanda Raspallo.
