Thomas

Conlon

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Conlon, affectionately known as Tommy, on Monday, February 26, 2024.  Tommy, a master storyteller, hard-working and dedicated entrepreneur, and a family man with an unforgettable spirit, has left an everlasting imprint on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Tommy, a warm and compassionate soul, was a beloved husband to Myong Conlon, eldest son to the late Bernard Conlon and Lorraine Conlon, and caring brother to Karen Schonland, Glen Conlon, John Conlon, Kim Morrell and the late Ricky Conlon. His nieces and nephews were fortunate to have him as their playful and loving uncle, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and genuine affection.

Born in 1954, Tommy grew up in the family business, Conlon Floor Covering, though his official journey began in 1973 alongside his father, Bernard Conlon. His passion for the business and commitment to the family legacy shone through in every endeavor. Taking a leap of faith in 1991, Tommy opened his first floor covering retail store, managing it for 15 years before shifting to a shop-at-home business. With meticulous attention to quality and a stellar reputation, he embodied the true spirit of hard work and resilience.

One of Tommy's greatest talents was his ability to weave captivating stories. With a mischievous smile and boundless energy, he had a unique gift for making people laugh and feel connected. His stories, a tapestry of joy and laughter, will forever echo in the hearts of those who had the privilege of hearing his tales.

Tommy was undoubtedly an entertainer.  He had a natural talent for music, drawn to it at a young age. He never shied away from playing a tune on the piano by ear, whether as part of a band, at a piano bar or at a family gathering. A vibrant Irishman, Tommy could liven up any room with his music, jokes and stories.

Tommy's love for the outdoors was evident in his passion for hunting and fishing, where he found solace and adventure in nature. Many a fish tale was told aboard the boat he shared with his dad, whimsically named "Weekend with Bernie." Whether it came from his Irish roots or his knack for growing the finest tomatoes in his personal garden, Tommy had a green thumb and a love for the simple joys of life.

To celebrate Tommy's life, visitation will be held at A.K. Macagna Funeral Home from 4 to 8 PM, with a memorial service at 6 PM. Friends, family, and those touched by this extraordinary man are invited to join together, sharing stories, laughter, and memories of a life well-lived. May Tommy's spirit endure in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, serving as a lasting source of comfort and light for all.
