He was born in the Bronx on June 15, 1949, son of Estelle (Ziegler) and the late Thomas McWeeney.

Tom was an intelligent, hardworking, self-made man. He excelled at a career he loved as a senior designer, retiring from Hyster-Yale in Greenville, NC. A perfectionist at heart, his work and everything he endeavored was meticulous. He enjoyed repurposing, fixing and inventing things using whatever might be at hand. He loved science, space and trains, as well as fishing, music and movies. With a desire for adventure, Tom enjoyed taking drives on unfamiliar roads, and had a knack for always finding his way back. For all his talents and hobbies, the most important thing in Tom's life was his family. He was Karen's rock, an amazing father, and a tremendously proud grandfather. When Tom had a plan, his family didn't question or worry. He will be missed by: his wife, Karen; three children: Ian and his wife, Sienna; Colin; and Megan and her fiancé, Rob Wurtenberg; his mother, Estelle; four grandsons: Gavin, Zachary, Landon and Ryker; sisters: Estelle, Catherine and Maureen; brothers, Sean, Michael and James; as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws and extended family.
