Thomas F. Crowley, born Dec 19th, 1946 in Lowell Massachusetts passed away peacefully at his home in Laconia New Hampshire December 2nd, 2012, 10 years after his beloved wife went before him. Thomas and Dorothy Connolly of Chelmsford Massachusetts were married 31 years.
Soon after being honorably discharged from the Navy and marrying Dorothy, they moved to Durham New Hampshire to start a family where his two sons, Kevin and Sean Crowley, were born. Three moves later, they eventually settled in West Suffield Connecticut. He would raise his family there from 1983 to 1999. In 1999, the lure of New Hampshire’s tranquility brought Thomas and Dorothy back, where they built a lakeside home in Laconia on the edge of Paugus Bay. Finally, retiring from a long career in business, Thomas spent much of his time doing what he loved most: fly fishing, tying, and teaching.
Thomas will be missed by his sons Kevin and Sean, daughters-in-law Jennifer and Meaghan, and grandsons Patrick and Graeme.
In lieu of a service and flowers, donations in Thomas Crowley’s name can be made to the Basil W. Woods Jr. Trout Unlimited Chapter at PO Box 3302, Concord NH 03302-3302.
