You will be greatly missed Tom ,putting a void and pain in many hearts
Wonderful and cherished memories are many in our family, of Tom. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. And his years of dedication to his family, and all the families who were fortunate enough to know him, are treasured. There are no words to convey the sense of loss to us, and everyone else who were very close to him. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts. His coaching skills for so many years, and dedication to our children, will also remain a constant in our thoughts.
We are heartbroken for the entire McSherry family, and send our love and prayers to all of you.
The Ahlborn Family
Tom was my great niece’s father-in-law. He was a wonderful, happy man who loved his family very much. He always had a smile on his face, so he would make you happy to see him. My husband Larry and I express our deepest sympathy to the McSherry family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
You will never meet a more low key nicer gentleman in your life than this guy was Tom was the very best I was lucky to know him
I am blessed to have shared with Thomas something most people did not genes. He is my Big Brother He has been my Protector as far back as I can remember. We had 2 wonderful parents. Thomas inherited the best of their genes. He has always been someone to be looked up to honest, hardworking and above all loving to the family.. He held himself to high standards. He also held his loved ones up to these ideals I can honestly say my wonderful nephew Sean lived with and surpassed my Brother’s high expectations. Ryan had more of the devil (like Myself) in him. I think Toms gray hair started with Ryan’s high school yrs I know he would not have changed a minute of all these times. He loved his Boys wholeheartedly. The Boys married two great women Cheryl and Kim who gave my Brother the 3 lights in his life Shannon, Leah Rose and JT. He lived for them. All the kids were with him to the end. All of this wonderful life would not have been possible if not for my sister in law (Sister) Linda she was his Rock his Beloved. Not to mention a saint. The good die young says it all. I have and always will love and miss him. Till we meet again. Kate

Tom was such a pleasure to talk to. What a nice man. They were newer in our Community and he came to whatever events he could with Linda to get involved. My heart and sympathies go out to Linda and your entire family.
Prayers to you all.
I knew from seeing him at Wolf’s Head every Thursday afternoon. He was a friend of Richard Paulson. We always aknowledged each other. A really great & wonderful man! He will be missed! God bless him & his family! I will miss seeing him on our usual Thursday afternoon time!
What can you say about Tom?We started out 11ish years when our Kim dated &married his Ryan and we became family.he always had a quick comeback for anything you threw his way!
He loved his family more than anything.He adored his grandkids!Even though I can’t say how Ryan & Sean were in their younger days,but I guarantee that Leah & JT definitely got away with more than they did!Leah has Toms stubbornness and JT has his wife smile that can light up a room!My heart is breaking for you all. May the angels welcome him with opened arm and he’s having a great time with those who have gone before!May he rest in peace.
Linda my condolences, I’m so terribly sorry to hear about Tom, I didn’t know Tom for too long I just started styling his hair about 2-3 years ago, but we had a lot in common, and he absolutely loved his family, My secretary and I will surely miss him, God be with you ✝️
Dear McSherry family,
I am beyond saddened . Tom and I became such good friends . We shared the love and laughs of our grand children together. Not to mention we both were afraid of the dentist! Family was everything to Tom.
My heart pours out to you Linda and your family.
Tom will always be in our hearts and missed dearly.
Sending many hugs and prayers your way…
