Tom was an always happy face to see in our neighborhood on Hawthorne Ave. A big hello and always kind words. My condolences to all of the Gannons.

I have wonderful memories of Mr. Gannon - from going to the Boston Marathon to watch for him every year to him showing up at Sun Valley having run an easy 9 miles there barely breaking a sweat. He was such a kind friendly man and a great friend to my parents. My parents love and cherish every moment spent with him.

We are so sorry to hear of Tom's passing and will keep his family in our hearts and our prayers. I remember a past Veterans Day when Tom played taps on his bugle and I will pause and remember his performance on my future Veterans Days.

Tom will be missed. We have wonderful memories of Tom when he was a member of the Singing Grandpops, bringing smiles to residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. He was a wonderful, caring person.

Gannon family, so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Tom, who I worked with at IBM in Waltham. Tom was a kind and upbeat guy who shared great stories during our lunchtimes and made us laugh. God bless and comfort you.
