Thomas Dennis Clougherty

CLOUGHERTY, THOMAS DENNIS May 27, 1944 – January 10, 2013 Tom passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends from complications of multiple myeloma. Tom was born in Los Angeles, spent his childhood in Whittier, and was a 44 year resident of San Marino, CA. He attended Villanova High School in Ojai and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where he met his wife Maryadele whom he married in 1965. In 1966, Tom, his wife, and infant daughter spent a year in Dublin, Ireland while he attended Trinity College. Besides spending most of his time at home in San Marino tending to his roses and succulents, he enjoyed weekends at their vacation home in Lake Arrowhead. Tom worked in the food industry for over forty years in sales and advertising. His work brought him in contact with numerous sport teams - his favorites included the Los Angeles Dodgers and USC Trojan football. A playful conflict always arose during the annual USC – Notre Dame football game, as he and Maryadele were devoted to the "Irish" as well. Besides his wife, Tom is survived by his daughter Kathleen (John) Leon of Anaheim Hills, son Brian (Kristy) Clougherty of Pasadena, and son Kevin Clougherty of Arcata, as well as grandchildren Casey Clougherty, Brandon, Brett, and Bryan Leon, and Tessa and Emmeline Clougherty. He also leaves behind his siblings Timothy (Linda) Clougherty, M.D., John (Sigi) Clougherty, and Margaret Clougherty. Contributions in his memory may be made to The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, Office of Advancement, 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108 or the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, 383 Main Avenue, 5th Floor, Norwalk, CT 06851.
