Thomas J. King

Tom was a loving husband, father and a true Renaisance man. We remember the many dinners and Brendan fondly remembers the Yankee opening days spent in Tom's company.

Tom was a great guy who always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. My family was fortunate to know him as the assistant scoutmaster for Troop 12, and I'll always remember the warm conversations we'd have when I'd come to pick up the boys from their meetings. Tom was always the first to come over and say hello, and, since he was an avid reader, we'd often talk about our favorite books. We also had the pleasure of enjoying some of his meals, including the famous antipasto that he so...
