Thomas F. McCann, 59, of Avondale, PA, passed away suddenly on Sunday, October 30, 2022, in West Chester, PA. He was the husband of Mary Claudy McCann for over 29 years. Born in Trenton, NJ, he was the son of Joseph McCann and the late Rose Larkin McCann of Levittown, PA.
Thomas received his undergrad from Penn State and his masters from the University of San Diego. He worked in sales for 30+ years selling industrial equipment. He was a member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in West Grove, PA.
Thomas’s greatest joy in life was his four daughters, he was so proud of the way they excelled in their academics and was their biggest supporter at every sporting event. He was always on the sidelines cheering for “the smashers”. Thomas was an incredible craftsman and could always be found in his home workshop fixing anything and everything, even if it wasn’t broken. Anytime he was working on a project you could find his helper dogs (Belle, Ash, and Charlie) right by his side waiting to assist. Tom loved riding around on one of his triumph motorcycles admiring the back country roads of Chester County and in the summers, he would ride to the Chesapeake, spending his afternoon watching the boats on the water.
In addition to his wife and father, he is survived by his daughters, Jane, Sarah, Emily, and Annmarie. As well as his siblings, Joseph (Jay) McCann of Philadelphia, Marie McCann of Langhorne, Justina Sponder (Ken Sponder) of Alabama, Rita McKeon (Mike McKeon) of Maryland, Michael McCann (Peggy McCann) of North Carolina, and Jane Kaltenbach (Chris Kaltenbach) of Wisconsin and his many nieces and nephews.

To the McCann family - while no one can truly understand the loss that you are feeling, please know that all of us are ready to support you in any way we can during this terrible time.
