I met Tom in 1991 and liked the Irishman instantly that had so many stories. He really was a rock in 12 step meetings and he contributed much of his time helping fellow members and keeping meetings going. Thank you for your military service and helping others Tom. My sincere condolences to his loving family. R.I.P

I had the privilege of meeting Tom Manning many years ago. We had a certain connection that's hard for me to explain. He seamed to allow me in, treated me so well and made it ok to be very open with one another. I get emotional when I think of him. I have so much deep respect for him & his family. Thank you all for allowing this man to give so much of his life to others. A great man an incredible man.

I knew Tom for 46 years and I've always considered him and Elaine and their four lovely daughters to be like family to me. I have spent a lot of time living in Arizona and overseas but we always managed to keep in touch. There were many times that I would see Tom at the gym when I was back in Burlington visiting my family and it was always so great to see him and get caught up. He would always joke around and call me his "number one son" and I always felt the same endearment to him. I will never forget when my father passed away and Tom and Elaine sat with me at the funeral home and I remembered feeling a true sense of comfort that I'm very grateful for to this day. Tom always told me to stay strong and he truly walked the talk as he was a very strong man himself. I will miss him..

Tom taught me the difference between responsibility and accountability. He never stopped offering to help me as he put it “WITH ANYTHING” and I know he always meant it. He was a warrior of society and there a hole left in his wake that can not be filled.

I remember Tom being so welcoming to newcomers. He looked down on no one and was always the first one to have his hand out. The number of people he helped was enormous. A life well lived.

Very long sober I was at an inflection point. I was in need of counsel from someone that I “got”. Tom was out of central casting. He was the first person I opened to about an issue that was troubling me. We drove around Gloucester and concluded with long smiles and a hug goodbye. Life improved. Tom was a great man.

i met tom in 91, got to know him, was drawn in by his charm and captured by his stories. he was a good friend. it was years later when my father passed that i understood how much i had come to love him. on a Saturday morning, knowing my father was sick, he asked "joe how is you dad" i looked at him and said "tom he passed last night. he grabbed my hand and said, joe, that hole you feel, because of his passing, embrace that, we pay no higher tribute to a person we love than to feel that place only they filled up. so to those who feel that hole, his words through me to you. embrace the hole left by the man who looked us in the eye when asking "How are you" and waited to find out.
