Northborough – Thomas Eric Norton un-expectantly passed away in his sleep on February 19, 2022; he was 51 years old. His family and friends are heartbroken.
Tommy is survived by his wife Barbara (Connors), two beautiful daughters, Madison and Hayley and his loving dogs Violet and Lexi. Tom also leaves his parents, Robert and Joy (Brown) Norton; a brother, Rob Norton; two sisters, Terry Griffin and Heidi Mosher and her husband Doug.

Born and raised in Weston, Tommy was a graduate of Weston HS prior to earning his BS degree in Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. He found his passion in scientific instrumentation and analysis. He later developed his own business, Twin Peaks, LLC.
In 2001 he married Barbara and together they raised their beautiful daughters Hayley and Madison. Tommy loved playing sports and was quite the athlete. He loved Basketball, Football, Baseball, Softball and Golf. He was always very competitive and continued these sports in several men’s leagues through the years. Above all was his beloved family. He always looked forward to hosting and attending family gatherings. Fun, a lot of laughs and relaxation could always be found while visiting his parents in Bonita Springs, Florida. He cherished weekend trips and vacations to Cape Cod and Maine with his family and friends.
Tommy looked forward to spending time at home. With his creative mind and talented hands Tommy created a manland, a dock, and a shed behind the house. It was here that one could find him outback, listening to his music, burning brush and chilling by the fire. He loved bringing the dogs for walks and exploring the nearby woods. He was a handyman and jack of all trades. There was nothing he could not fix and always had a solution to any problem.
Calling hours will be held between 9 – 11am at Hays Funeral Home, 56 Main Street, Northborough on Monday, February 28. A funeral home service will follow at 11am. Burial will take place in South Sutton Cemetery, 29 Hough Road, Sutton.
