Loving husband, father and grandfather. Tom was born and raised in Rochester, graduating from McQuaid Jesuit High School. He received his bachelor’s degree from St. John Fisher College and his law degree from Albany Law School. He practiced law for more than 45 years, and was extremely engaged in the local legal, political and Catholic communities. He brought grace, decency, and integrity to all facets of life. Tom attended all Catholic schools growing up. A weekly church-goer at St. Joseph's, the McQuaid alumnus felt great pride in his Jesuit education. He also had a great interest in theater.
