Thomas John Gherardi, 75, of Eastchester, NY passed away at home, on November 14, 2025. Tom was born on March 16, 1950, in Mount Vernon, NY, to Joseph and Adeline Gherardi. He was the owner of Mazzy's Sports Bar in Mount Vernon and the Eastchester Inn (aka The Green Room). He attended Mount Vernon High School and studied at New York Institute of Technology. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Patricia and his daughter Cheyenne. Also survived by his brothers Joseph of White Plains, NY; Frank of Savannah, GA and his sister Mabel Gherardi of Bronxville, NY. He was preceded in death by his parents. ZZ was a true Fleetwood and Eastchester legend, known for lighting up every room he walked into. He had a gift for making people feel seen and special, always signing off with his signature “you babe.” Whether in the bar or out in the neighborhood, ZZ brought people together with his warmth and larger-than-life presence. His joyful spirit and ability to make anyone feel at home will be remembered by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
