RIP.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
I met Tom on FreeRepublic nine years back, and when I found out we were only about six miles apart, we got together at least once a month. We got together for family events and served together as officers in the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
He’d not been well for the past several years, but fought through to the very end like the Warrior he was.
I will be at his funeral, and will pull down these tributes and present them to his wife.
God Bless You All
Well done, good and faithful servant.
A Navy corpsman, the combat Marine’s angel. Farewell, may the Lord take this into account.
I’m touched by Connor’s life and the prayers offered here. When the good man stands before our Lord, his hands will be full with the abundant gifts and graces he brings home to his Savior. What a heart! What a life! God bless.
Took an AK round in the back while treating a wounded Marine during an ambush in the “Arizona Territory”
RIP. We who remain salute a passed brother.
“With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant
where there is no pain, no sorrow, no sighing, but life everlasting.”

Tom was a regular contributor to the Freeper Canteen and I enjoyed many pleasant FReep mail exchanges with him through the years.
May his Memory be Eternal!
Much to be said of their father son relationship...may he truly rest in peace....
I'll just leave these here.
We were indeed fortunate to have a man of Tom’s caliber among us here on Free Republic.
His example will encourage us and guide us as we continue to fight for the country he loved so much and for which he gave so much.
May our Lord comfort his loved ones with the peace that passes all understanding.
And may we always honor his memory.
......”I will be at his funeral, and will pull down these tributes and present them to his wife.”........
Thank you and may the Lord comfort your heart as you mourn the passing of your good friend.
A warm and encouraging friend whom I will miss until I join him.
Wow, born near me and sworn in one month before my birth. RIP Conor!
Bttt
I share his birthday — 20 yrs later. Oh how I hate this part of life.
God bless and keep you, Thomas.
Thank you for posting that wonderful tribute to Tom. He was my first friend on FR and a Wonderful Person.
I always looked forward to his beautiful and imaginative posts of the various Threads on FR.
Rest in Peace in the Arms of Jesus, Dear FRiend.
Blessed travels, FRiend. May he welcome you into His loving arms.
We “chatted” in FReepmails through the years as well. A man you couldn’t help but like and respect.
His memory will live with all those who knew him, no matter to what degree.
