Thomas Francis Landers died on Nov. 30 at the age of 77.

Tom moved to the Vineyard in the 1970s where he lived his life on his own terms. Known for his dry wit and deadpan delivery you could count on him to find the humor in most situations. He was an avid sports fan and happiest with a book in hand and a growing pile nearby.

He is survived by his sisters Theresa Barwick(Ken), Brenda Codding (Guy), his niece Jade DesLauriers(Dan), his nephew Will Codding(Jaime).

He was predeceased by his nephew Geoff Codding.
