Dedicated father to two daughters; Cat and Tori Coyne both of Los Angeles, CA. Devoted son of Josephine (Murphy) Coyne of Marshfield and the late John B. Coyne. Brother of Kathy Foley and her husband Terry of Braintree, Joanne Fraser and her husband Steve of Milton, and Jackie Penzo and her husband Mike of Quincy. Also survived by four sisters-in-law, many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and surrogate brothers from Ronan Park, especially Billy Kelley. Tom was an avid gardener and proud Bostonian. Tommy's favorite days were spent with the Robins and Cardinals in his backyard. He enjoyed sitting on the beach in Marshfield, and getting to know the regulars at the West Roxbury YMCA, and Porter Cafe. Aside from his family and friends his two great loves were his city and adventure. Visiting Hours will be held at the Coyne family home, 43 Kearsarge Rd., Marshfield on Sunday, July 25th from 3-7pm.
