He is survived by his two sons, Patrick and Brian Nolan; daughters-in-law, Shannon Nolan and Ashley Day; brother, Kevin Nolan; sister, Pat McPike; four grandchildren, Connor, Delaney, Will, and Saf; and his nieces and nephews. Tom loved playing golf with family and friends, always walking the course. As a statistician, he loved all the stats within baseball and grew up in the Mickey Mantle era, transitioned with his kids to the Baltimore Orioles and the Cal Ripken era, and more recently followed the Washington Nationals and Bryce Harper. As Tom and Helen traveled, he enjoyed checking out new museums, especially while walking the streets of New York. He was fiercely loyal and engaging with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors and is fondly remembered by all. Over the years the grandchildren learned that he's a pretty good story and joke teller as well
