Born on January, 28,1960 in Cleveland, Tom was a proud member of the Saint Ignatius Class of 1978 and went on to become a CPA after graduating from Cleveland State University. He was dedicated to his tenants in the three apartment buildings that he owned until 2021. Beloved son of the late William T. and Ellen Rae (nee Schustr) Woods. He is survived by his siblings, William T., Dennis, David, Maureen Bissler (Fred), Fred (Kelly Kupkak), Jean McCormick(Dale), Mark (Debra), Patricia Schilling (Robb Matthews), Ellen McCafferty (Dennis), Jacqueline Marconi (John) and Joseph (deceased). He was a supportive and "favorite" uncle of 24 and great uncle of 12. Tom volunteered at St. Mel Church, and he was "the best" CYO basketball coach. He was always up for a pick up game of basketball with the nieces and nephews, and telling stories of his youth. He will be greatly missed.
