In 1977, he married the former Eileen O’Connell (Lixnaw, County Kerry) and they
have been four beautiful children: Bernadette, Tom Jr., Siobhan and Breda.
During the late
1970’s Tom joined local 149 of the Carpenter’s Union in 1972. He then
established his own contracting business, which he still operates and manages
today under the name E.T. Kennedy Contracting. In the past 30 years, Tom has
built and restored countless homes in the Tri-State area.
In 1980, he
joined AOH Division 11 in Tarrytown, where he served as treasurer, Vice

Yonkers. He served on the building committee for five years as chairman and
currently is Vice President of The Kerrymen’s Association.
After a trip to
the Dominican Republic he was struck by the poverty he found and its impact on
children. About four years ago, Tom joined with others who shared his view that
they could not stand idly by while people in the Third World lacked the basic
necessities of life. They were determined to provide some help, especially for
children who do not have access to proper nutrition, education or healthcare.
HOPe was founded in 2001 and Tom was elected Co-chairman. In this capacity, he
played a leading role in the planning and development of the organization. In
addition to this work in the Dominican Republic, HOPe has provided aid to a

human beings both as individuals and groups with specific needs.
