Happy early birthday my friend. Yours the 11th mine the 9th. We shall always share these dates. Even though your there n I'm still here. See you on the flip side friend. R.I.P.

I just found out about my pal. I need to leave a funny memory of him. I have more than 1 but this 1 is my favorite. My son and I are living on 51st. I work at import tap. After a few months we are fast friends. Not only going to the many a Gaelic festival,  but many concerts. 1 day at my apartment. I just bought my son a tranachula. It needed a name. Tommy picks it up it bits him. He hurled it at the wall. Call it "splat!" Miss you man. R.I.P.

I would like to express out deepest sympathy to the Scanlon family we grew up together many years ago. Tom had a great character and sense of humor it was joy when you were in his company. We will keep him in our prayers.
THE HOULIHANS-RICHARD,GINGER, MICHELLE ERIN AND TOM--WHAT A GREAT GUY!!

Sympathy to the Scanlon Family.  Tommy was a very likeable, funny guy.  We knew him from St. Clare days, Maplewood Street, and know what a great family he came from.  That in turn made him the devoted family man he became.  Anyone who knew him thinks of music and laughter!  The world is a darker place, since the day Tom Scanlons' light went out.  Our condolences, The Ensworth Family (Chris, Kathy, Jim)

I haven't seen Tom since High School but he was a great guy with a kind heart and a big smile.  He loved to sing, knew every lyric, every song and was quite good at it too.  I am sorry for your loss.

To Tommy's Wife and Family, Tom was a great guy, I haven't seen him in many years. And still can honestly say I have fond memories.. He was an awesome person to know. He will be missed. I do remember seeing him at a toll way a few years back! Didn't get to stop, but that was a good flash back! Made me smile for a long while! My heart goes out to you all in your time of need... I can only hope that some of his old friends memories brings a smile to your face as he did to so many of us by being in our lives back then!! God Bless you as he blessed us with Toms presents in our lives!! The world lost another good man the day he passed.. 
God bless you all

My heart n my arms were always open to you I thank you for all our memories I always told you may the best in life come your way it did it has n it will RIP my beautiful brother I will miss u immensely.I am deeply sorry at the loss to the whole Scanlon family. your brother Rockin Rivera POR VIDA!!

It seems that no matter where we went to see a show, Tom was there.  He would just materialize behind us -- "Hey, it's the Kaisers :)".  Then he was off, video cam in hand, looking for the best view to the stage.  He was always there with the courage to speak up when he saw an injustice being done.  He was always there in time of need.  Our kids especially appreciate how generous he was with them, how valued and included he made them feel.  We don't expect any of this to change.  He will always be there, always with the best view, especially in providing loving guidance and protection to you, Kim, Shane and Olivia.

My deepest condolences. Tom was a great guy and great to work with. We will all miss him

Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences for all who feels this loss. The last time I saw “Scans” was about 25 years ago when we went to see the Tragically Hip at the Cabaret Metro.  After which he very wisely chose to dedicate his time to Kim and his family.
Although a quarter of a century has past since we last hung out, our time hanging out is full of fantastic memories. Hanging out, listening to tunes, shooting pool and enjoying our youth. “WHOA! WHAT A TIME…”
We went with his brother Jack to see Van Morrison in “79” which I am playing in honor of Tom as I write this. Throw some Jethro Tull in there to top it off…
The Scanlon Family has been a blessing to this world….

Tom we know you are safe and at Peace and we know that your sprint will remain within  all who loved you.  Thank you being a part of our team your knowledge,and relentless digging drove us to madness but always back around to the right way which oddly enough was always your way.  Miss you buddy, you were the first of the boys and you've left behind a wonderful legacy.

We will miss Tom deeply. I knew Tom back in the day, stopped hanging out with him, then saw him at my house, waiting to take Kim out on a date. What a surprise. Since then, I gained a terrific brother-in-law. I enjoyed many shows with him. He's probably buying tickets for Hendrix as we speak. We will never forget you, Tommy. With love from Jim and Michelle Grana and family.

I have the utmost respect and appreciation for the character that Tom demonstrated in being a  loving husband and a caring father. My deepest sympathy to Kim and her family. May Tom's love from heaven shine down upon you. Ric & Angel Whitt.

Tommy was a good friend way back in the day.  When we heard of his passing we were so sad, but then a smile came over our faces thinking of all the fun the old gang had at his house parties, and how he loved music. Tommy was always singing, and that's how we will remember him.  Our sympathy to the entire Scanlon family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tom's passing, my heart goes out to the Scanlon family.
He was a great friend to Tony and we will all miss him. R.I.P Tom, love Roberta, Matt, and Miranda.

Tommy was a good friend and i am SO sorry for your loss. We shared so many great concerts together..some of my fondest memeories are of the times spent with and the shows i went to with Tommy!! he was a great guy
