Thomas T. Freedman, 63 of Gloucester, died Monday evening, December 24, 2012 at the Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester following a brief illness. He was the husband of Peg Wiselogle.

A graduate of St. Mary’s Salem and St. Mary’s high School in Lynn, he also attended University of Mass. in Amherst. Tom worked as a gardener for a number of customers on the North Shore over the years. He had a fierce love of nature, enjoyed studying maps, and was an avid weather watcher. He followed world events closely and had no shortage of opinions on current topics, which made him a force to reckon with in conversations with family, friends and sometimes the casual acquaintance!
