Tom Needham pass away on June 2, 2020. Son of Matthew and Helen Needham. Everyone who met him, liked him. He was the original Weirdo and proud of it. Much to the embarrassment of his kids. Tom loved Law & Order. The TV show. Not in real life. His favorite things to do was, tell Dad jokes, eat and goofing off.
He love his family but, never called anyone by their given name. He thought that the names he came up with were better. Big Toe, Shoes and Mr. C are just some of them. His family responded in kind by having everyone call him Grumpy. A name he adopted proudly.
Tom leaves behind a family that is trying to navigate without him. Leila, his girlfriend of 17 years. She is a Saint. Cathy, his sister. Often the subject of one of his pranks. Son Tommy, aka, Shoes. Son Paul, aka, OGIT. Daughter Christine, aka, DG. Daughter Elizabeth, aka, The Brat. Their spouses, Jen (Paul) . Brendan (Christine). Kevin (Elizabeth). His nephew James, aka, Dummy. His Grandchildren. Tim, Chris, Lynette, Brie, James, Jake (Mr.C), Matt (Big Toe), Nik (Nikaroo), Shea (Old Man), Drew (Drewbeee), Aubree and Catiebug aka The Ladies.
Pre-Deceased by his sister Agnes, (Pigeon Toes) and his brother Jimmy.
Quotes by Tom, "Girls give you grays." " You can call me anything. Just don't call me late for breakfast, lunch or dinner." "Where's my money?" and lastly, his favorite... "KMA"
