To Janice, Mike, Carol, Karen, Kathy, Jen, Colleen, all of your husbands and children:

We have had the pleasure of knowing your Dad and Mom for many, many years. We are so sorry for your loss and heart ache. I will never forget your dad's big smile. He could light up the room. He was a true American soldier who gave all of us a better life today as he fought to protect our country while serving in the United States Army. Thank you Tom. May you rest in peace.
God bless you all for taking great care of your parents as they were always there for you. Our deepest condolences to each of you.

To Jan and Tom's extensive family:

We are still recovering from reading of Tom's passing! Please accept our sincere condolences.

While I was the college certified teacher, I spent 30+ very formative years, as a post graduate, attending "M.U." (Moynihan University) learning from Tom that which no university could ever teach me - for that, I will forever be thankful!!!

While I was blessed with 2 biological parents, I was additionally blessed with two adopted parents - Tom and Jan Moynihan. These two incredible people were the epitome of excellence and they helped me to readjust to the World of Education from the World of Retail.

I have accumulated many many quality hours with Tom and no one can take that from me! I have thanked
Tom personally for being allowed into his life and now I shall do it publicly......Thanks Tom....Rest in peace...you will forever be in our minds!!!!!
