Thomas graduated with the Class of ’66 from Leicester High and went on to serve his country as a Sergeant with the United States Marine Corps. Upon his honorable discharge in 1973, Thom continued his career in service by becoming an Officer with the Worcester Police Department. He served as a proud member of the WPD for 10yrs, only retiring due to an injury sustained while performing his duty. Thomas finally retired from the workforce in 2006 after a successful career, as a Supervising Technician, with the Security Department of the Worcester Art Museum.
Thom enjoyed fishing with his son, riding motorcycles with his brother and laughing with his daughter and dear friends. He was a much-loved member of the Charlton Community, having lived in the same apartment building for 30yrs. He often turned neighbors into friends and friends into family. He will be missed dearly.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
