My sympathies on the loss of your dad. Liz and I really got to know him on the Cape, passing time on rainy days. From there, we always made it a point to stop at their annual Labor Day party on our way home from Truro. We did this because your dad and mom always made us feel welcome. Great people. You are in our thoughts.

"Alice and Tom are here!" Always said with a smile. How wonderful to go through life bringing that kind of pleasure wherever you went. Everybody loved it when they arrived.

Theirs was the first wedding I went to. It was a great day for them--and for me. Alice in her wedding dress, Tom so handsome. The reception at the Toll House. Their leaving from the house in Elmwood.

And you all were known to us as "those lovely Moroney boys". You always showed up in force for all family events. (Even in matching outfits at one of the reunions! ) You came to all the wakes, all the funerals.

These last few years, when I would see Tom at the Cape, he seemed determined to hold on to his wonderful sense of humor.

He so loved, and took such pride in, "those lovely Moroney boys" . And in your own families.

I smile when I think of Tom. And what a great thing that is--to be remembered with a smile

Tom was not only a great boss but also a great teacher and a great friend as well. I had the pleasure of working for Tom for many years and was lucky enough to get to know him, Alice and the boys very well. Tom was always the first to congratulate you on your good news and the first to console you when you had bad news.
Tom taught many of us the value of being real and treating people with respect.
I will miss Tom but will always be grateful for having known him.

Tom and Alice--how they lit up a room. I always thought Alice was so beautiful and she had this great laugh. I loved Tom's slightly angled view of our family, his sense of humor and the two of them together radiated their love of the kids. How dignified the way they handled illness when it came along--just as a part of life and without drama or sentimentality. I just loved Alice and Tom. And their kids and grandkids are equally as marvelous. Missing too many people this year.

Your Dad was an amazing man and mentor. He hired me right out of college to work for him at CW. I think he just hired me because my uncle played F-ball at "The Cross". The 10 years I worked @ CW will always be very special to me as was your Dad!

Peter and Family, prayers are with you and your family during this time. God Bless.
