He worked several years with Prestressed Concrete before an accident left him unable to work. Instead, he became a dedicated father and "Mr. Mom" for his boys, spending lots of time with them and being very proud of the men they are today.
Tom was proud of his Irish heritage and enjoyed traveling around the country to visit family. He loved to dance, play pool and listen to the Motown music of the '60s and '70s.
He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Moose Lodge, Eagles Club and VFW.
He will be remembered as being a wonderful man who was beloved by his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Frances Malloy Lemanske and Louise Behling; brother, Lawrence Malloy; nephew, Isaac Malloy; father-in-law, James W. Tiernan III; and brother-in-law, Andrew Tiernan.
