SCOTTSVILLE, N.Y. — Passed peacefully the night of Sunday, Sept. 26, age 63. Loving husband, father and grandfather. Survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Susan; daughter, Brenna (Jose); and sons, Colin (Banu) and Jason (Gina).

Originally from Farmington, Maine, Tom spent the past 26 years of his life in Scottsville, N.Y., where he raised a family and owned and operated a local business. His varied interests included a fervent love of politics and he was not the type of man who was shy to show it. Agree or disagree, people could not help but feel the care and warmth that he emanated. It feels like an understatement to say he will be loved and remembered by many people for years to come as a good man who was taken too soon.
