Thomas Finlon Obituary
Tom was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to E.Virginia and Thomas R, Sr. He made lifelong friends at Central Catholic High School, then moved to New York to earn his BA from Fordham University, gathering another group of dear friends. Throughout his career of trading energy commodities, he traveled to many countries, gaining worldly experience but retaining his Pittsburgh essence. During his years living in Palm Beach County, Florida, Tom enjoyed sailing, gardening and attending minor and major league baseball games. He would discuss baseball trivia with whoever would listen. He loved talking on the phone with friends, calling to wish them Happy Birthday and to keep up with the news of their families.

Tom was such a great person. In the very short time that I´ve known him, he became my biggest supporter and advisor.
Tom, you are truly missed. Your advice and guidance was greatly appreciated. Your friendship truly missed.
Rest In Peace my good friend.

I worked with Tom for many, many years, and am so sorry to hear the news of his illness and passing. Tom was always so upbeat and positive. My thoughts are with his family and all those who loved him.

Tom was just amazing in every way and always made me laugh no matter what was going on in our world. I cannot imagine my college life without meeting Tom and bonding immediately. We had talked recently and as always I was laughing as we recalled some wonderful memories. Rest well my friend. God bless the Finlon family.

Teresea - My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Tom so loved you, and it was beautiful to see how much through the way he spoke of you. My prayers for peace and comfort are with you and your family - Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Tom was a kind, witty, and joy-filled soul. I am thankful to have had the chance to get to know him and I enjoyed our phone chats. I am also grateful for the time he was part of the office which brought us many chuckles with his sharp humor. He made the world a better place and he is missed.

Tom was a cheerful part of everyone´s day in the office. He always had something positive to say and always checked in with you and asked after your family. He had a big heart and an even bigger collection of useless baseball facts that entertained us all on a daily basis. He brought value to our team along with daily laughter. His presence will be greatly missed.
