In the early hours of Saturday March 24, Thomas Patrick McPhaul, "Tom," slipped into eternal rest surrounded by family and comforted in the knowledge that his loved ones were near him these many days.  He was just 53.

Survived by his parents Donald and Marguerite Jane McPhaul, and Aunt Nancy 'Mother" Gill, his sisters Elaine Carmichael and Ruth McPhaul, brothers Michael McPhaul and Donald Ports, his children Jesse Lewis and Tiffany Bloom and his grandchildren Noah, Charlotte and Ariana.

Formerly of Catonsville/Oella, Tom spent the last 20 years putting down roots in Linthicum where he nurtured a 20 year relationship with his now wife of 9 years, Kim, raising their children together and making lasting memories.  He especially enjoyed time with the grandchildren, cooking, camping, boat rides and nights by the fire with family and friends.  For 30 years Tom worked as Property Manager with Tom McGee gaining a second family with this life long relationship.

Though God didn't grant Tom many years, the time he did have with family and friends was precious.

He will be sorely missed......
