I'm so sorry to discover that Tommy has passed away. He was instrumental in promoting our band and pressing our first record. 

On behalf of the band and myself, our sympathy goes to the family and friends.

Daniel O'donnell Standing Room Only Lyrics

His father would tell everyone Tom was more his Mothers' Son always helping her even as a small boy.

I saw that he was very much his Fathers' Son also. His Dad was the Man he did try to become all his life. Whenever he would fail with a business he would say “I should have listened to my Dad”.

When his Dad had heart surgery he took off 6 weeks to be at his side. His business partner lost his business while he was gone.

It did not matter where Tom was a weekly call was made to both parents and his children. Until his children became too busy to take his calls.

He loved to drive from a young man and the many speeding tickets that would follow. On his down time he would drive his Dad all over the Farm Land and talk for hours. He would tell him when he won the power ball he would buy a large farm. He would live in the big house and build a cottage one on each side for his parents. His Mom could cook and his Dad could work the farm. Adding be sure to bring your social security checks so we have some money.

He got a call one night from his Dad that he had called 911 and was going to ER. He started to go back to sleep but jumped out of bed thinking those can not be the last words I say to my Dad and drove until he found him to tell him “I Love You, Dad”.

One of his goals in life was to bring both his parents together saying “Children want their own parents”. His passing away did this also and not the way either parent would have wanted. The last words both parents had heard from Tom were “I Love You.”
