Thomas Edward McGivern, 75, died Sept. 15, 2024.
Tom was an old-fashioned guy who put family above all else. His advice was valued by many clients over an impressive 51-year career as a financial advisor, but also by friends and family on all matters from lawn maintenance to a good golf game. Tom enjoyed the Northwoods, treating people to a nice dinner and being the consummate problem solver.
Tom was a warrior, who valiantly fought every obstacle to spend as much time with his family as he could, and they will be forever grateful.
He is survived by his wife, Janet Heiser McGivern; his children, Julie (Robert) Maddox, Matthew T. McGivern of Hinsdale and Jennifer (Scott) Winters; his grandchildren, Elena Maddox, Malin, Matthew and Emilia McGivern, and Ashley, Kaili, Scott, Zack, Samantha and Drake Winters; his mother, Mary Taylor McGivern; his stepmother, Mary Clifford McGivern; his siblings, Mollie (John) Carroll, Arthur (Anne) McGivern, Jane (Lester) Levine and Kathyrn (John) Dorn; his siblings-in-law, Susan (Wesley) Sharp and Steven (Dana) Heiser; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur McGivern; and his sister-in-law, Jeanne (James) Schultz.
