AUGUSTA - Thomas W. O'Connor, 54, died on Dec. 12, 2017, after a courageous battle with cancer. Tom was born in Augusta on August 9, 1963, the son of John J. and Elizabeth (Devine) O'Connor.
Tom attended Augusta schools and was a 1982 graduate of Cony High School. For many years Tom was employed at F. O'Connor Company, the family scrap iron and metals company in Augusta.

He used the skills and knowledge gained through that experience to become a state-certified Personal Support Specialist. For the past six years he was employed in that capacity by the Helping Hands Home Health Care Service.
Tom enjoyed over 50 years of summers on Lake Cobbosseecontee at the family camp in Manchester.
He is survived by his two brothers, John J. O'Connor, Jr., and wife Michelle of St. Michaels, Md., and Stephen J. O'Connor and wife Rachel of Vassalboro; niece Carolyn O'Connor McNamara and husband Michael of Highland Mills, N.Y., nephews David J. O'Connor and wife Jenna - together with their children Haley and Christian - of Augusta, and Robert J. O'Connor of Vassalboro. Tom was the youngest of a score of O'Connor and Devine family cousins branching out over many decades from Augusta.
A Memorial Service and burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery, Manchester, in the spring. Arrangements have been entrusted to Plummer Funeral Home, 16 Pleasant St., Augusta, ME. Condolences, photos and memories may be shared at www.plummerfh.com.
