Thomas Swift Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Jersey City, New Jersey

Master of Factoids
When Thomas F. Swift was around, no one wanted to play Trivial Pursuit or any game that relied on factoids and cultural flotsam. That was because Mr. Swift, whose brothers called him "the book of useless information," knew a bit about all kinds of things, maybe because of those childhood years reading encyclopedias at night for fun.

Mr. Swift, who was 30, worked as an assistant vice president at Morgan Stanley in the World Trade Center. He worked long days, said his wife, Jill, but he managed to be well-rounded. He used to unwind by spending hours listening to music, any kind of music.

The Swifts had been married five years. They celebrated Mrs. Swift's 30th birthday in June by going to the Bahamas with a group of friends. "He was a die-hard Yankees fan," Mrs. Swift said of the man she met when they were both high school students. "He yelled at a lot of TV's because of it. I had to become a Yankees fan before we married. My family was National League, they like the Mets, but it was a deal I had to make."

Watching Tom Brokaw tonight as he talks about his last 50 years. He stays straight laced and strong until he talks about meeting your mother who searched for you after 9-11. God bless you.

Aloha,
When news of the attacks on NYC & Washington DC made its way to the Hawaiian Islands, the whole world stopped & could only watch in disbelief as the events of the day unfolded.
Many stories of human interest unfolded as loved ones sought to find some peace of mind or simple answers on the status of loved ones.
Through the too many family members out in search of answers...The Mother of Tom Swift struck a personal chord as she made her way with a picture & just...
