Thomas Eugene Crowley passed away on February 13, 2014. He was 76 years old. Tom was born on July 3, 1937 in Queens, NY. He grew up in Queens Village. Tom served proudly in the Marines before returning to Queens and beginning a career as a Printer. Tom married his wife Lydia (née Berglin) in 1962 and together they raised four children. In 1972 he moved his family to Hampton Bays where Lydia had grown up. Tom opened Hampton Bays Printing Company which he operated for 32 years. One would say that he had Printer's ink in his blood. He also worked for the US Postal Service for 27 years primarily in Riverhead, retiring in 2013.

Tom was an avid photographer and enjoyed collecting books, music and tools. He loved spending his spare time gardening. He is survived by his wife Lydia, daughter Karen, sons Thomas and Patrick and their wives Julie and Leah, his son-in-law Richard Daley and 10 beloved grandchildren: Kelly, Anna, Jack, William, Jane, Helen, Joseph, Daniel, Bridget, and Lauren. He was predeceased by his loving daughter Kate.

Services will be held at O'Shea's Funeral Home in Hampton Bays on Sunday, February 16, 2014. Tom will be interred with military honors at Calverton National Cemetery on Monday, February 17, 2014.
