Born in Dorchester to the late John and Eileen (McNabb) Chisholm on October 2, 1956. After graduating from Boston Technical High School he went on to have a successful career in sales with an impressive 30 year run at Alpha Chemical Services as the Senior Vice President of Sales.

In 1980 he met his beloved wife of 43 years, Kathleen (Goslin) Chisholm. They went on to have four children, Allison Reardon and her husband Jonathan of Hanover, Brian Chisholm and fiancé Lindsay of Enfield, NH, Eric Chisholm of Hanover, and Abigail Gutting and her husband Kurt of Hanover. He was the best Papa to six beautiful grandchildren. Lucy, Cecelia, Jack, Noah, and Emmet and he was pre-deceased by his granddaughter Emilia.

Brother to Christine McDonough and her husband Paul of Weymouth, Paul Chisholm and his wife Patricia of Danvers, and Virginia Parra and her husband Euclides of Easton. Brother-in-law to Kevin Goslin and his wife Mary of Norwell, and the late John Goslin and his wife Karen of Hanover also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Tom loved playing hockey. He played for the Quincy men’s executive league for many years. His dreams came true when all of his grandchildren decided to become hockey players. He loved nothing more than spending time in Brewster Park, sitting on his back deck drinking a beer, and listening to music. He enjoyed history and visiting historical sites. He loved his work, which he never considered a job. He was chasing new business until his final days.

He was more than a boss, he was a mentor and a friend.

He was the best husband, dad, and papa and will be missed dearly by everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
