McManus, Thomas L. of Quincy, died April 13, 2018.
Family, faith & country meant everything to Tom, especially the time he cherished helping to raise his two beloved grandsons, Thomas & CJ who were the center of his life. He was the original “Uber” driver shuttling his grandsons and their friends to school & their activities never missing a game or concert in support of their interests & accomplishments. He was a passionate Boston sports fan and enjoyed the company of his fellow Boston College football fans for over 30 years as they tailgated together and made lasting friendships & memories. The ocean and sailing brought him joy as he sailed competitively in his early years with his father & friends in the Merrymount neighborhood he called home. Tom was a member of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees upon his retirement from United States Postal Service where he worked in Hingham for 38 years. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean conflict. He was a member of the Jiggstone Adventure Club for 25 years. Tom will be remembered for his sense of humor, devotion to his family, quiet faith, and humble personality.
