Thomas O'Rourke Obituary
Thomas enjoyed painting and doing crossword puzzles and spent most of his time watching his favorite sports teams, Red Sox and The Patriots, and he will be most remembered for his dedication to his club brothers "the Earls".
Thomas is survived by his father George O'Rourke, of Elmwood and his twin Sister Kathleen O'Rourke of Southington and will also be dearly missed by his 2 favorite nieces whom he adored as his own: Jennifer Vallejo of Newington and Angela Harris of Southington, his special great nephew and nieces, Antoine, Mariya & Brianna, and his fiancé Grace Grzyb, of New Britain, whom he loved a lot.
He was predeceased by his mother Patricia O'Rourke.
Funeral services will be private and at the convenience of the family. Please visit the online guest book to share a memory of Tom. We all know we have some good memories of him. New Britain Memorial Donald D. Sagarino Funeral Home, 444 Farmington Ave., New Britain, is assisting with arrangements. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.newbritainsagarino.com
