Tom Shannon was a really good guy to know, Honest , fun loving and a really good plumbing partner of mine for many years. We attended Plbg school together every Tuesday in the 1950"s, We got our teacher to let us out early so that we could see the Yankees with Mickey Mantel play the White Sox, we swam together at the Lemont Quarry when we worked at the far south Honest, what good memories. Tom had a really soft heart for dogs ,many times he would find a lost dog buy a can of Dog food feed it to Fido . and bring it home for Esther and kids to Enjoy. ha ,ha.
Our families enjoyed each other when the Shannon's came down to Pompano Bch. for vacation.
Rest in Peace, Tom

Dear Esther and the Shannon Family,
I extend my sincere and deepest sympathy
I was saddened to learn of Tom's passing.I will always remember Tom as a buddy and good friend.
We were plumbing apprentices at the same time and attended Washburne Trade school together. After class one day we went to Comiskey Park to see the Yankees W/ Mickey Mantle play our White Sox w/ Minnie Mimosa both hit home runs.(good memories
of the 1950's). when we worked together on some hot summer days on the way home we would stop and swim at the ole Lemont Quary ( more memories) I can still remember Tom's And Esther's wedding day ," Beautiful couple" and them both raising a wonderful family.
We had good times at Fr. Perez KofC hall and more great times when the Shannon's vacationed down here in South Florida.
Tom ole Buddy I'm sorry to realize your gone .
Rest in Peace,
Your Ole Budd, Art Kratovil
