Lt/C Thomas M. Cashin, P
October 17, 1942 - March 4, 2010
Tom was born in Chicago and grew up in the Chicago suburbs, where he attended college and then spent 35 years working in the metropolitan area. Tom retired and moved to the Village of Egg Harbor with his wife Paula on April 1, 2001.
Their two daughters, with their spouses, and Lily, their grandchild, still reside in the Chicago area, along with numerous other relatives.
Tom was the Door County Sail & Power Squadron Executive Officer for many years. He was a tireless worker, heading up the Vessel Safety Check program, among other projects. Tom accepted the position of Bridge Secretary and was installed at the 2010 Change of Watch on Saturday, February 20th, just a few weeks before his untimely death. Paula, also an active member of the Squadron, is editor of the Scuttlebutt, the Squadron's monthly newsletter.
In addition to boating, Tom enjoyed snorkeling, reading, making delicious fruit jellies, and entertaining his family and friends with his many funny stories. His favorite jokes were bad puns. The Cashins' powerboat is named - wait for it - Cash Out!
Tom was dedicated to his family and friends, passionate about boating safety, and generous with his talents and time. He will be truly missed.
