member of the Kinsmen and K-40 Club, served on the Marystown Town Council, Marystown-

instrumental in bringing to Marystown. He loved the residents and took great care to provide
them with a community-oriented, comfortable living environment.
Food, music, family and friends! Tom loved to host a dinner and a party. So many wonderful
memories were made in his home. He was very proud of his children and their accomplishments,
always being their biggest cheerleader and advisor. He instilled in them the importance of family,
volunteerism, and contributing to the community. His greatest joy was his grandchildren, who
brought him renewed purpose and wonder.
