Tom was a true gentleman and very generous with his attention to Danvers town government
Tom was my neighbor at Brooksby Village. I used to bring him Eucharist after mass on Sunday. He was a man of deep faith and never missed a chance to receive communion.
Whether it was a communion visit or a small bag of homemade cookies left outside his door, Tom was always grateful for the smallest kindness.
He had a wealth of knowledge on many subjects which he was always willing to share with others. He was a lovely, kind man. He will be greatly missed.
Tom volunteered with his Fraternity and Educational Foundation for over fifty years. His sense of humor was legendary. Rest in Peace Brother.
Tom was my Uncle he had deep faith and sense of family
