Thomas Kerrigan, 58, self-employed carpenter
NORTON -- Thomas Kerrigan, 58, of Norton, died on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2005, at home. He was the beloved husband of Gail N. (Nordberg) Kerrigan, to whom he was married on Dec. 16, 1968.
Born in Providence, R.I., on March 29, 1947, he was a dear son of the late Thomas Kerrigan and the late Irene (Gagne) Woyton.
Mr. Kerrigan had been raised in Norton, and was educated in Norton schools. He received his associate's degree in business management from Dean Junior College, and had served in the United States Marines during the Vietnam War.
He was a self-employed carpenter for several years until retiring. He was a member and former chaplain of the Norton VFW Post 8049, and a member of the Lt. Harold A. Healy American Legion Post 222 in Norton.
