Not sure what to say?

Tom was very incisive.

Tom Scanlon was a legend in Cleveland. A fantastic and zealous advocate for his clients, a caring yet traditional boss who provided for his people and a genuine person who talked more about his family than anything else. Tom gave me a shot when I needed it in 1999. He provided guidance, resources, access, and was a mentor to all of us in his orbit. Never a man exerted more effort on the treadmill or helping a client with a problem. Rest in peace my friend. Dan Montenaro

Tom´s generosity knew no bounds. His hospitality was unmatched! We will always cherish our friendship with him. Peace be with his family.

Tom was a great friend, mentor, and supporter of the arts. My condolences, Douglas

Sending condolences to the Scanlon family. May Tom Rest In Peace. Godspeed Evelyn Wright

I was lucky enough to work with Mr. Scanlon while he was at Hawkins. He was sharp as can be, loved his job, and was kind to everyone. I loved chatting with him in his office and listening to him tell stories about his life (most of which were very funny). He will be missed dearly. My deepest condolences to his loved ones and coworkers.

Beth and Brian, very sorry for your loss of your dad and father-in-law. I met him a few times at the West Side IA, he was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He will be missed.

My condolences to the family, co-workers, and friends of such a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of attending many of the Irish-American functions that Tom hosted with such pride. His sense of humor and genuine interest in every person he met are indeed one of his many legacies. I will miss him. May he rest in peace. Carol Matia

Great family man, lawyer, & friend. Safe home Tom. RIP. Anita & family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Mike & Cathe Corrigan
