To the McGrorty Family-- was just about to send holiday greetings when I discovered the news of the loss of this fine gentleman. My spouse Kathleen McElroy and I rented from Tom and Mary on Long Island in 1980 and had kept in touch annually. Seems he had a very wonderful life, beloved by so many others. Our sympathy and best wishes to the family.
