TRIBUTES:
“May Tomaso Schena RIP! A talented local artist who traveled on a bike to many places like the Nest Pub and Grill. Here at the Saddle Up Saloon. Joe, Kelly, and I met up with him, and he came over to give us this picture he had just drawn. Such a great gentle soul who put a smile on everyone’s faces!”
“Tonight, we are here remembering a gem, the late Tomaso Schena! He was a man not only with an astounding talent but a man who truly donated his time to making people smile with his drawings of them.
Frank and I were HONORED giving Tomaso and his bike a ride home on a rainy night from Carriage Town Bar and Grille 2 weeks ago. His heart was just as big as his smile!!
Taken too soon. Rest in peace, angel.”
