I just heard the news of Tom’s passing tonight.  We first met many years ago at Price Elementary School.  I’m so very sorry to hear of his passing and sending sincere condolences to all of his family and friends.  RIP Tommy 🙏🏻

Tommy was a true and caring person of strong faith. His family meant everything to him.He possessed the most unique wit and would always make you laugh no matter what he was going through. At Halloween parties he was bar none,  to the most craftiest and humorous costumes. Surely he will be missed by many.

I was blessed to know Tom starting in September of 2023. Tom was working on developing an advertising campaign for Stoner/Invisible Glass. Our agency owner and I met with Tom via Zoom. His energy and enthusiasm for his work was incredible. He was so detailed, focused, and willing to do more – whatever was needed. But what I remember most of all was he was honest and transparent – clearly one of the good guys. We were eager to support him and the company, even before the company became an official client. I’d never been so excited to clean glass and suddenly I was doing side by side glass cleaning comparisons and having my daughter and husband judge. Invisible Glass for the win every time and Tom loved hearing this. Tom was clearly a family man as we both talked about our family albeit briefly, as we were focused on the work. I’m so sorry for Tom’s family, Tom’s work teams, and all who loved him. Prayers for all. Karla Crawford Kerr

I am so sorry to hear this. I was fortunate to get to know Tom when he was Tommy. He was such a fun loving and loyal member of his family. One of my favorite recollections of Tommy was during a LCHS football game. I had just been tackled and there was this loud banter from the sidelines telling our opponent that they were not going to stop us. As I got up I looked over and it was Tommy! An Eagle fan in the making. I was fortunate to connect with Tommy over the years as he became Tom. Still the fun loving loyal family member who would do anything for you. I connected primarily digitally but that appraoch did not erase his unbelieveable qualities. My son met Tom at a business meeting years ago and said he met a great guy. Those were the exact words my brother Jeff used when he found out and shared he saw Tom at a Mass recently. Jen, Braden and Lily I hope you can find the Lord’s peace at this difficult time. Patti, Trudy and all the McCarty extended family I wish you strength and peace as well. I do believe Tom will continue ensure the Lord’s blessings for you all.

I got to know Tom and his family through coaching his son, Braden, for Little League baseball at St. Leo the Great.  A terrific father and man who was always willing to lend a hand whenever needed.  His smile, enthusiam, and friendliness to all was infectious.  My thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family.

Tom was such a wonderful person and iam very sad to hear of his passing.  I grew up with Jen and her family on Fremont St and got to know Tom from church. He was always at Sunday mass and took time out to be an usher or assist the priest if he needed help.  He would have a quick wave or a smile everytime he handed out the bulletins. He will be deeply missed by so many. Prayers to all the Kirchner/McCarty family’s.

Our kids went to St. Anne School together and they were friends.  Had the opportunity to work with Tom on some fund raising for the school on a few occassions.  Tom was a great guy who was upbeat and fun to be around.  He was always smiling.  We are so sorry to hear this sad news.  Our prayers are that Tom is in a better place and that he is at peace.  With our sincerest sympathy.

We lived beside the McCarty’s growing up on Hilton Drive.  I remember Tommy schooling us younger kids in the neighborhood on football and running us thru drills.  He and Mark Taylor had a “football camp” of sorts in the field in back of our houses. He was a huge Eagles fan and his passion was infectious.  My memory of him over the years is being just such a nice personable man with a bright personality.  Thoughts & prayers for his family.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have known Tom for a very long time. A relationship began when my husband played on a softball team with Tom. Later, our relationship continued when he and his family brought all of their cars to our garage for service. We at CW Imports want you all to know that we are here for you. Our thoughts and our prayers will continue to be lifted through this most difficult time. God’s blessing be with this family. Blessings, Ron & Ronnette and the guys at CWImports.

I grew up next door to the McCartys and Tommy was the closest thing I had to a big brother. He teased me and looked out for me.. he taught me the joys of playing electric football and Risk. We had meals and parties with his family, vacations, celebrated holidays. I’m so broken-hearted at his passing. My heart and prayers go out to Jen, Braden, Lily,  as well as Patty, Trudy, and their close extended family. Love you Tommy!

Dear Jennifer & Family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time.  I had the privilege of serving on St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Parish Council with Tom and he was so kind and funny.  Tom was always willing to help at church wherever needed.  God will truly hold Tom in the palm of his hand.  Keeping all of you in my prayers.

My name is Bret, I work at Bluebird and worked with  Tom on the Invisible Glass business at Walmart.
I’d only known him for several months, but I quickly became exposed to Tom’s infectious charm and passion for his work. He was an incredible joy to work with and talk to.
Some of our conversations led to the mysteries of life, where it became obvious that Tom was an all-around amazing guy. Not just in his career, but in his personal life as well. I always looked forward to our calls and off-the-cuff conversations.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and I hope they can find a little peace in knowing how many lives were touched in such a positive way by Tom. He will be missed dearly.

**Tribute to Tom**
 
Tom was not just a fraternity pledge brother; he was a cherished friend from our freshman days at IUP all the way to graduation. His uplifting spirit brightened our conversations, earning him the affectionate nickname “Onion Head” among the brothers. Tom was beloved by everyone in our fraternity, embodying the qualities of kindness, humor, and camaraderie. He truly was one of the best among us—a remarkable person who brought joy to all who knew him. Tom will be deeply missed, but his memory will forever hold a special place in our hearts of the Kappa Sigma brotherhood
