HUDSON FALLS – Thomas P. Daly, 65, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 17, 2021 at his home following a long illness.
Born on October 5, 1955 in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late James E. and Patricia Daly. After graduating from Hudson Falls High School in 1973, he attended Adirondack Community College.
Tom was a talented musician, an accomplished woodworker, an animal lover, and an avid Buffalo Bills fan. Most recently he was employed by Angio Dynamics in Glens Falls.
Early in his career, Tom worked at Parsons Pipe Organ Builders in Canandaigua, where he built pipe organs for churches located throughout the northeast and east coast and as far south as Virginia. He later worked for Heritage Creations in Glens Falls, where he built many trophies and awards for professional sports organizations including the PGA, LPGA, the PGA Championship major golf tournament, the Boston Red Sox, and some of the most prestigious private golf clubs in the U.S.
For several years, Tom was an organist for St. Mary’s/Paul’s Church in Hudson Falls.
Left to cherish his memory are his siblings, James E. Daly and his wife Janet, Peter Daly, Matthew Daly and his wife, Bobbie, Margaret McCullough and her husband, Steven, and Carolyn Needham; as well as his loving nieces and nephews, many cousins and aunts.

I am shocked and saddened to hear about Tom. We were high school friends through thick and thin. After college, I was greeted like family while visiting him (and family) in Geneva, NY.
I was hoping to reconnect with Tom at our 50 HS reunion. My thoughts and prayers go out to Tom…forever a friend and will always cherish the time we spent together.
Deep sadness for the passing of Tom at such a young age! He was a genuine and dedicated man! His passing will leave a deep void to all who knew him.
I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family on your loss.
May cousin Tommy rest in eternal peace.
We had such fun in the “old” days.
Love from your Texas family,
Cathy Luciano Harasta
Extremely sad to hear of the death of my cousin, Tom Daly. An extremely kind, talented, gentle Soul who made a lasting contribution to the World that he left much to soon. May all his family & friends cherish his memory.
My condolences to Tom’s family and friends. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He was fun, compassionate, and loving, and my best friend’s hubby; they loved each other dearly for a time…Fun and Pure. God Bless.
Tom was a part of my life for 25 years, 23 of those as my loving husband. Though we had separate lives, we kept in touch periodically and always loved each other. My heart aches with sorrow but I am blessed to have the memories of the many unforgettably wonderful times we shared. Tom was so talented in so many ways and his extended family in Naples always fondly inquired about him. I will always love Tom. Peace be with him.
Rest in peace Tom!
