Thomas McDonough Obituary

I was saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He and Leonta were my godparents. They were so wonderful, and always remembered my birthday. I last saw Tom when he traveled East to attend my wedding. It meant so much to me to have him there, as a part of my very special day. I am so happy that I had a chance to spend some time with him. I will miss him and will remember him always.

We are shocked and saddened at the passing of Tom. He was truly a man who stood out from the many. He was always there for everyone whether it was a family member or a friend.

I remember when he first started dating Leonta. He was a clean-cut young man and he remained that way throughout his life. He was a natural leader who emerged from the crowd whenever leadership was needed. He was a loving husband of my cousin, Lee, and a great father to their five children. He had great faith in his Church and he put those beliefs into action each day of his life. Everyone enjoyed being in Tom's presence and thus his passing creates a great void in our lives. We shall miss him deeply all of our remaining days.

He was a wonderful friend and we will miss him very much.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
