Thomas M. Hayes, 69, of New Bedford, died unexpectedly on Friday, July 8, 2022.
Born and raised in New Bedford, he was the son of the late Daniel F. and Christine M. (Constant) Hayes.
Tom was a quiet and private person and would never hesitate to help those he loved. He was happiest when socializing with his friends, having a beer, and talking about anything electrical. Tom was a long time patron of the Washington Club and the Centro Luzo American Club. He enjoyed his retirement.
Survivors include his siblings, Daniel S. Hayes and his wife Rosemary, Kathleen A. Maciel all of Florida, and Roberta Canastra and her husband Richard of North Dartmouth; his very close friend Ann Coutinho, Ann's daughter Donna, and Ann's grandchildren, Té-Lynn, Maya, and Kevin Layton; and several nieces and nephews.
