Tommy DiCenzio was the son and killer of Frank DiCenzio in "Frank's Best".

Profile[]

Tommy's life changed in 2000 when his mother Lydia died of unknown causes. He had a close relationship with her. Because of Lydia's death, his father changed and wouldn't spend time with Tommy, but would spend time at the family business, a deli.

Prior to 2001, Tommy started going to a junior college and taking classes. As his father would spend all his time working, Tommy became friends with Nick "Stump" Fanelli until Frank told him to stop hanging out together.

Frank and Tommy had a breakthrough when his father had promised his son that he could do a sports league, specifically a son and father hockey league that they had done in the past; could spend a lot more time together. However, that wasn't enough as Tommy had grown jealous of his father's relationship with his employee Ricardo Muñoz, an immigrant from El Salvador. In the end, he would kill his dad due to jealousy by repeatedly beating him to death.

Years later, he would be working in a grocery store and later arrested for his father's murder.
