In Tom’s younger years he enjoyed playing softball, bowling and loved all dogs. He met Joan Kirby and fell head over heels. He was a devoted husband and loving father. He spoiled all 10 grandchildren and cherished being the #1 babysitter. His adult life revolved around his family. He’d be the first to arrive at a family gathering and the last to leave. He enjoyed food, especially sweets, and spending time with his family. Call him anything but late for a meal. He served his country as a US Army veteran and the city of Chicago with a distinguished career as a Chicago Police Officer for 35 years 10 months and 3 days. Tom will be deeply missed.
