Thomas Hurley

October 9, 1930 - June 29, 2021

Tom passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on June 29, 2021. Tom was born in San Francisco to Tom and Renabelle (McLeod) Hurley. He grew up in the Sunset District where he developed a lifelong love of the Ocean, and where he learned to surf at Ocean Beach. Tom was a graduate of Poly High School. After graduation, he joined the National Guard where he served for 6 and 1/2 years, followed by 2 years in the Army, where he made lifelong friends with Malcolm Pfeffer and Gene Rose. Tom was a 30-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department where he served at Park and Northern Stations, then as an Inspector in the Burglary and Fraud Details. He was a longtime resident of Montara, CA. He loved all outdoor activities including running, skiing, skydiving, surfing, camping, and backpacking. He spent many summers vacationing at Meeks Bay in Lake Tahoe. Tom and Cecilia enjoyed their numerous trips to Italy where they developed a love for the Italian people, the culture, and of course the food. In his later years, he enjoyed his time spent in their North Beach condo, a little slice of Italy in San Francisco.
