Tom was born to Thomas and Barbara Dwyer in Westbury, NY on April 10, 1946. He was a graduate of Westbury High School and Russell Sage College.
Tom met his wife Lorry, on a blind date in 1969, one year later they wed on October 10, 1970. They recently celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary. They were blessed with a large and loving family.
Tom was a Financial Advisor for over 42 years. For the last 22 years, currently at Morgan Stanley, he was partnered with his son, TJ.
Tom served and volunteered on numerous boards and organizations throughout the Amsterdam community.

He was an active parishioner of St. Mary’s Church in Amsterdam, serving as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister.
He had a wide and robust circle of friends and associates. Tom enjoyed his backyard sunsets and playing golf with his friends both in NY and more recently in Florida. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially watching his children and grandchildren play sports.
