HAVERHILL - Thomas W. Quigley of Haverhill, passed away peacefully at his home Oct 7, 2019.

He was born in Chelsea, Mass. on August 1, 1948, son of the late Wilmer and Beatrice (Forbes) Quigley. Thomas and his family lived in Amesbury, Mass. for over 30 years. After a long and successful career in the newspaper industry (including The Salem News) he retired from Fosters Daily Democrat. He was an avid golfer, hiker, chess player and a lifelong New England Patriots fan. A master carpenter and handyman, there was nothing he couldn't fix or help his friends and family build. He loved spending time with his family and will be remembered for his tireless dedication to those he cared for. He was promoted to Grandpa two years ago and spent the last years of his life being wonderful at the job.

Tom was loved and will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know him. He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Marilyn (Marchessault) Quigley; two sons: Thomas S. Quigley and wife, Julie Quigley of Seabrook N.H., Christopher J. Quigley and wife Melissa St. Peter of Nashua, N.H. as well as the joy of his life, his grandson, Liam. Additionally, his cousin Maureen Burke, several nieces and nephews and a lifetime of best friends.

There will be a private family service held. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to The American Cancer Society.
