Tom was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 25, 1935. Graduating from St. Leo's High School and DePaul University, he went on to become a successful Partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He was a man of faith who loved his family, reading, golf and his Irish heritage. He sat on the Board of Directors of Birmingham Country Club and Stonebridge Country Club.

Tom's wife and children gathered for a mass to celebrate his life in Naples, Florida. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with details to follow.
