Thomas M. Lanigan

Tom Lanigan was born in Brooklyn, New York. He was the only son of Daniel and Veronica. He has four sisters; Margaret (Tom) Leonard, Patricia (Tim) Young, Mary (Ray) Fortier and Veronica (John) Doll. Tom had a quick wit and was always there if someone needed him for advice or help.

  Tom married the love of his life, Ronnie on November 13, 1977. They have two children, Lauren and Thomas. Together they created a life of love and treasured memories. They instilled the importance of family which was most apparent at Christmas dinner. Surrounded by family and laughter Tom would love to prepare and cook the “Roast Beast” to ”rare” perfection. In 2008, Tom welcomed his favorite son-in-law, Biagio Pacifico to the family. In 2011, Tom was promoted to Pabow by his first grand-daughter ,Ciara  followed by his grandson ,Liam and then his granddaughter Catherine (who switched it to Pablo but only to her.) He loved them with his whole heart and enjoyed spending time and playing with them.
         
                Tom was an amazing man who would sacrifice and move mountains for his family. He always was there for advice and to help if needed. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
