Tom was born July 20, 1943, in New Kensington, to the late Edward P. and Clara (Kaminski) Finn, Sr. Tom was a 1961 graduate of Ken High School.

Tom served his country in the U.S. Army Reserves, achieving the rank of Tec 4. He moved to West Deer in 1971, living here for the past 53 years. Tom was a member of Our Lady of the Lakes Parish, West Deer, volunteering at the annual Community Fish Fry for many years.
