Tom graduated North Haven High School in 1977 and was employed by US Surgical Corporation for 34 years until his illness. Tom thoroughly enjoyed many fishing trips with his friends Jimmy and Dennis over the past 30 plus years.

Tom’s favorite past time was his vegetable garden where he spent many hours of total relaxation. Tom will be remembered not only for his vegetables but for his strength and courageous battle with cancer. The family wishes to thank the staff of Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven especially Dr. Jill Lacy and Carol Staugaard for their loving care of Tom these past five years and to CT Hospice in Branford for their loving care.
