Publish in a newspaper
Tom was a proud Navy veteran having served on the USS Brattleboro EPCE(R)-852. He had a distinguished career in Telecommunication, working with Continental Grain for 30 years and later at McGraw Hill / S&P Global in New York City for over 25 years.
He was predeceased by his parents, Constantine and Mary (Murphy) McLaughlin; his brother Hugh and wife Eileen; and godson Brian.
Tom is survived by the love of his life of 57 years, Nancy (Calves) McLaughlin; his son, Tommy McLaughlin; his two daughters, Mary Sigler and husband John, and Kelly Leuck and husband Rob; his two brothers, Connie and wife Chris, and Joseph; his niece Kerry; as well as four grandchildren, Amanda and husband Ryan, Robbie, Tommy, and Tiffany, and two great-grandchildren, Henry and George.
Tom was deeply adored by all who crossed his path. His zest for life was infectious, and his smile was ever-present. A humble, kind, and humorous man with a generous heart, he cherished moments spent with his family and embraced life's simple joys. He was especially proud of completing four NYC Marathons and one Montreal Marathon.
