Our hearts are broken so sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. He was a wonderful person will miss him his smile his laughter positivity about life. May you rest in peace Tom .Love Mike Harlene and family

I'm sorry to hear of Tom's passing. When I was a freshman at St. Mary's, I remember Tom was brought in to teach a mini-course in Lynn City Government. This was before he was even a full-time teacher. When Mayor Caggiano died that year, Tom brought in John O'Brien and the two of them explained to this class of 9th graders how the city would run until a special election could be held. Years later, Tom was a teammate of mine on the McCarthy Glass softball team and even though I was one of the...

A very beautiful and accurate description of Toms life.I can attest that Toms impeccable demeanor carried over to the softball field and all other aspects of his life. Nobody knew Tom as an acquaintance, because he was a real friend and positive influence to anyone that ever met him. Way to soon. RIP

Dear Madeline and family,
Jim and I were so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. A flood of memories
come back, especially when Eric and Danny would play together as little
boys and Jessica babysat for our two children almost 40 years ago.
So happy to hear about your grandchildren. We have 3 ourselves. Anna
just born this past July. Bill and Mark continue to be such dear friends and so we get news from them time to time. Where have the years gone?
Looking forward...

Dear Madeleine,
So very sorry for your loss. I consider myself very lucky to have played golf once a year with Tom at the St. Mary's tournament. He always had a positive outlook no matter how bad we played. It was a pleasure hanging out with him for just 6 hours once a year for the last 20 plus years. What Tom accomplished in his life and how many people and needy organizations he touched proves what a great human being and True Christian he was. His service to others should be an...

So sorry to hear about Tom. He and my brother Tom were lifetime friends from St. Mary's to Providence and beyond. Whenever my brother was up visiting from PA, they would always get together. I used to bump into Tom at the gym fairly frequently,,,,,, when I was going of course. I was embarrassed at how much more active and in better shape he was than me who was much younger. We shared a lot of laughs and stories about the past. Just a great person!!. He will be sorely missed.

Madeline, I'm so sorry to see of Tom's passing. I'll always remember how my dad would pick up and drive a bunch of boys home for lunch when we at St. Mary's Grammar School. Tom was always one of the most appreciative ----anytime I'd meet him, he would always mention it. It was nice to run into the both of you a few years ago in Wolfeboro, NH---of course, Tom remembered me---he never forgot anyone. My sincere sympathy to you and your family.

I was so very saddened to hear of Tom’s illness and passing. I have fond memories of walking down Franklin Street with my St Mary’s grammar school kids,Tom being one of them. Tom loved talking to my grandfather and he was especially kind to my son while at North Shore. He had a life well spent and will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to Madeline and family

RIP Tom!!
