Thomas "Tommy" McGuigan

Tommy was born in Ballymacnab, Northern Ireland, the son of Frank and Mary McGuigan where he became a talented mason and spent many years on the soccer field. He came to America in 1966.

Tommy was a true artist when it came to masonry and his projects reflected that. He loved a humorous joke and a good laugh. He loved Irish music, playing his harmonica, and anything related to Ireland. He enjoyed car racing, soccer, football, western movies and especially Clint Eastwood movies. He spent his later years antiquing and attending auctions with his companion Mary Skinner.

Tommy was preceded in death by his parents and sisters, Vera and Moya.

He is survived by daughters, Seanna Malek (Joe), Maire McGuigan (Dean Brogdon) and Geralyn Casper (Michael); grandchildren, Alex, Aiden, Ciara, and Addie; siblings, Francie, Anna, and Sheelagh; and companion Mary Skinner.

Cremation was provided by Butler Cremation Tribute Center.
