PEACEFULLY and at home, on October 27th 2020 shortly before his 96th birthday, Tom Moore left us after an active life that touched many people from Stonington Connecticut, USA, to Limerick, Galway, Europe and Asia.

Born in Westerly Rhode Island in 1925, Tom went to Taft School and at the age of 18, went into the US Army, then preparing for the WWII landings in Europe. He was very proud to have been a member of the Second Ranger Infantry Battalion and landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. A few weeks later, he fought in the fierce battle of Hurtgen Forest where 5,000 American soldiers lost their lives before gaining eventual victory. Tom was wounded and then sent back to the USA having earned three Gold Stars and a Purple Heart of which he was very proud.
