Tom was a 1962 graduate of DePaul College Prep High School and a graduate of DePaul University, where he earned his Bachelor's in Accounting. He spent his working career as an accountant and comptroller retiring from National Concrete Pipe Company, after more than 35 years of service. Tom loved being with his family. Everything from hosting holidays to having summer BBQs to playing cards with the guys, to enjoying a good scotch and a cigar with family. Fun times were always had and Tom thoroughly enjoyed having people gathered in his home. He especially loved being a Popie to his grandchildren. Tom was involved in SS. Peter and Paul Church, where he volunteered often, and was the best Santa for their annual Breakfast with Santa event for many, many years. Tom was also an avid sports fan always rooting on the White Sox and the Bears, win or lose. He also loved a little friendly banter with any Green Bay Packers fan, especially those in the family. Tom will be deeply missed by many.
