Thomas "Tom" D. Lawless, 50, of Rutland and formerly of Worcester, died unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Born on June 5, 1962, he was raised in Worcester and lived in Rutland for the last 26 years.
Tom was a 1980 graduate of Saint John's High School in Shrewsbury and a 1984 graduate of Bentley College in Waltham. He was the director of used truck sales for AMI Leasing for over 20 years and most recently a self employed leasing consultant. He was a member of St. Patrick Church in Rutland where he taught Confraternity of Christian Education.
He was proud of his Irish heritage and will be remembered for his quick Irish wit, infectious smile, blue eyes, and his compassion and willingness to help those who were less fortunate. Tom touched many lives in a special way by making us laugh and he was always there if you needed him. He was a good shepherd who loved his God, his church, his son, his family and friends. You were blessed to call him a friend.
Tom was an active and dedicated alumnus of Saint John's High School where he could be found enthusiastically volunteering at many of its events. He enjoyed all sports especially the Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots and his beloved Saint John's teams. He was a devoted son, father, brother, uncle and friend. Tom embraced fatherhood with a passion. His proudest moments as a dad were when his son "TJ" graduated with honors from Saint John's High School and Harvard University in Cambridge.
