Tom and his family lived at the Mall. He was on duty for Vito, later Michael, 24x7x52. Can you imagine Tom telling Vito or Michael, "Hey, I'm taking Teresa and the kids to Disneyworld. See you in a couple of weeks."
Early in the novel, we learn that, after Vito named Tom consigliere, he would become a very wealthy man. What would he spend his money on?
