Rusty enjoyed bowling through the years with many friends and family. He continued to enjoy a beer and laughs with teammates until he could no longer. Tom also looked forward to the NYS fair every summer. He would go with his son Chad and always had to play " I got it" and take a chance at the lottery. Another summer event Tom looked forward to was the Syracuse Nationals. Tom and Chad would walk around for hours admiring the cars and enter into the raffle hoping to take home a dream car.

He is survived by two sons, Thomas (Elizabeth) McLaughlin, Jr., Chad (Courtney) McLaughlin, seven grandchildren, Thomas, III, Nicole, Taylor, Tiffany, Carson, Connor, Caleb, two great grandchildren, Noah and Kiara.
