  3. Tom was a such a caring person. I know my dad (father-in-law) treasured the special relationship they had. I don’t remember ever seeing him without a smile. Condolences to the Quinlan family!

  4. I grew to know Tom from working at the Perry Bowl with my family. To us, he was our grandpa Tom. He was a very loving and caring man. My younger sister and I grew to love him very much. My fondest memories of Tom was when my sister and I would beg him to let us come over and play at his house, and that’s just what we did. Tom would come to the bowling alley, pick us up and bring us back to his house to play. He definitely is going to be missed by many as he was love by so many. God definitely gained one very special angel! Condolences to his family.

  5. Tom hired my mom during a tough time in her life. He was very kind to her and gave her confidence to begin a new chapter in her life. I will always be grateful to his friendship to her.
