Thomas M. Flaherty

Thomas M. Flaherty, born June 23, 1960, in Somerville, NJ, died on February 24, 2018. Thomas is survived by his daughter, Molly Grace Flaherty, father Richard J. Flaherty, brothers Jerry (Margo) D. Flaherty and Richard (Adele) C. Flaherty, longtime girlfriend Jeanne M. Philip, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marian Flaherty.

Having spent much of his youth in New Jersey, he became a devoted fan of the NY Mets and NY Jets. He also loved music, especially the Beatles. He graduated from Bishop Ready High School in 1978, where he was a star pitcher for the baseball team. Before his double lung transplant in 2011, he worked at Nationwide Insurance as IT Project Manager. His family and many friends will always remember his brave battle with cystic fibrosis. We are all so sad knowing that our lives will certainly not be the same without our beloved Tommy by our side. A man like him can never be forgotten with the imprint he left behind.

Visitation will be held from 2-4pm, Saturday, March 3, 2018 at Newcomer, SW Chapel, 3393 Broadway, Grove City, OH, where a funeral service will begin at 4pm.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 575 Copeland Mill Rd #1A, Westerville, OH 43081.
