Thomas (Tom) Huvane, 90, passed away on November 10, 2022. Tom was born on January 21, 1932 in San Francisco to Anne (Shanley) and Thomas Huvane (Sr.), who emigrated from Ireland in the early 1900s.

Tom was a man of great faith with a kind and compassionate heart. He served in the Korean War and returned home to obtain a teaching credential. He taught history, earning a master’s in education from the University of San Francisco and working as middle school Vice Principal and elementary school Principal. Tom took sincere delight in working with and for kids, believing in each child’s potential. A lifelong advocate for education, youth, and families, he touched many lives through his work.

Tom loved sharing meals and conversation with family and was a devoted fan of college basketball and football, in particular the Notre Dame fighting Irish.
