Thomas Goodrow Obituary
Born Aug. 3, 1960, in Springfield, MA where he spent most of his life. He was the son of the late Lillian Goodrow and Eugene Goodrow (Joanne) of Inverness, FL.
Tom was a painter by trade. Loved playing baseball with his friends when he was younger and collecting baseball cards.
His beloved wife, Brenda, who cared for Tom during his illness, was right by his side until he went home.
Tom leaves behind his wife Brenda, a daughter Amy and 2 grandchildren. Along with Bob (Alyce), Donald (Beatrice), and Christopher. He was predeceased by his brother Michael.
Many thanks to all who stood by him and helped Tom in Tennessee.

Tom´s Family, In the late 1970s Tom played baseball out of Forest Park for the Springfield Giants. He was a pleasure to coach and he always was kidding around with his teammates. And a solid ball player. I later worked with his brother Bobby at the Post Office, and I saw so many of Bob´s traits in his brother. So sorry to see his life cut short, but I guess heaven was in need of a quality 2nd baseman. Tom, you are forever a Springfield Giant and your memory will live on. You are part of a brotherhood and embedded in your teammates memory. Love ya brother.

Tommy had a heart of gold and enthusiasm for life. He was always in the middle of things and knew how to celebrate life. He was a great wrestler,and I remember his visits to 55 Winthrop Street where he was the fighting champ. One tough kid. Happy he found faith, family, and peace.
I'll miss you cousin,
the other Tommy Goodrow.

To the Goodrow Family,
A lot of time has passed since those days on Johnson Street. I am sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I will keep him and the Goodrow family in my prayers. May the smiles and laughter of the many memories of good times spent together carry you through the difficult months ahead of you.
