Thomas J. Kennedy

Mr. Kennedy was my friend Tom's father. I spent a lot of time at his house in Holyoke, when I was younger. He was always so nice to me, and all of his son's other friends. Our band used to practice at his house, and he was always accommodating. He was a good man, and I liked having conversations with him. He always had something positive, and inspirational to say. To his family, I am very sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts, and prayers for sure.

I am so sad for the loss for all who knew him. He was an iconic character and I loved introspective stories. I grew up running in and out of the Kennedy household. Mr. K was a unique father who would draw in his kids friends and talk to us, not at our level, but he would bring us up to his level. He would tell us about Irish history, the history of Holyoke or facts about dinosaur footprints. He always had advice for us about striving hard or being fair. I remember he often told us that...

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Tom. I taught with him many years ago at Plains School. He was a great teacher and a true gentleman in the real sense of the word. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Betsy Levreault

I am so sorry for your loss. What a very special soul! He inspired and nurtured so many of my friends at Mosier School. I will always remember him and his character fondly.

Dear Judy, Kevin, Tom, Kara and family. I´m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Many memories of the Old Jarvis neighbor. Margaret Ann (Bissell) Nugent
