Thomas P. Costick
THOMASTON – Thomas P. Costick, 68, of Thomaston, passed away peacefully at Cook-Willow in Plymouth, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Tommy was born on Sept. 1, 1952, to Thomas G. and Dorothy P. (Craig) Costick. He lived his entire life in Thomaston and was a THS graduate, class of 1971. He was a member of the Sons of American Legion, Post 22 of Thomaston, and the Liederkrantz Men’s Club. Tom worked at Torrington Company for 33 years until his illness forced him to retire.
“T.C.”, as he was known to his friends, was a kind, gentle soul. He enjoyed the company of his family and friends. He could often be found playing pool, whether in a tournament or just a friendly game. He won more than a few of those in his day. He also enjoyed playing cards and conversing with his friends at the club.
