Thomas Barone, owner of Alexandria TV shop
Thomas Barone had a talent for fixing things.
Mr. Barone, who died from complications of diabetes Tuesday at his Alexandria home, owned and operated Tom's TV Service in Alexandria for 36 years.
Other television repairmen would bring him their problem sets.
"He was a genius at the TV business, " said his ex-wife, Carol Barone.
He did all the mechanic work on his automobiles, and his son, David, worked with him, Carol Barone said. David, of Alexandria, is now a certified master mechanic, she said.
Later in life, Mr. Barone enjoyed showing his F-85 Oldsmobile, a 1962 model with all original parts and less than 20, 000 miles. He won more than 95 trophies with it at car shows.
He also collected jukeboxes and old 78 rpm and 45 rpm records.
"Our sons could name all the tunes from the '40s, '50s and early '60s, " Carol Barone said.
"They knew them better than the popular stuff growing up."
Mr. Barone had used some of those records in the 1960s, when he served as the disc jockey for after-the-football-game dances at Campbell County High School.
He was proud to have done that, Carole Barone said, and was to be buried in the outfit he wore then.
