Tom was born on 25th November 1950, first of the family, to John and Margaret (née Harold) Kennedy.
He attended Our Lady and St. Joseph's Primary School in Glenboig before progressing to St Patrick's High, Coatbridge.
During his time in High School, he developed his love for guitar and music which would see him hone his musical skills over the years, a skill which brought him great respect and appreciation from all who heard him play.
A solid Socialist, he practiced the principles of socialism by helping all that he could in any way possible. In fact, he was never known to have passed by a seller of The Big Issue without buying one.
He married Kristel Shelton in the USA on 18th July 1988 and they set up home in Strathbungo, Glasgow. A few years later their daughters Caitlin and Lauren arrived. Along with Kris, they were to become the focus of his life.
He was an exceptional husband and father and devoted all of his attention to their well being and development.
He was taken from us prematurely on 28th November 2016 at 66 years old.
As one of life's genuine socialists, he will be missed by all who were touched by him. We are privileged to have known him.

My big brother Tommy always had a shoulder to lean on
A lovely day spent with Kris, Tom and friends in May this year. Tom was generous, kind, he had the most unique sense of humour . What a wonderful husband to Kris and father to Caitlin and Lauren.
