Thomas "Tom" Clair Crowley, of Edina, MN, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2023 at the age of 82. Tom was born in Welton, IA to Vince and Clare Crowley, and he attended Maur Hill Prep before graduating from St. Benedict's College in Atchison, KS. In 1964, he and his wife Ann began their life together, and Tom started his almost 60 year career. Tom directed countless financing projects in the real estate community and was known for his ability to make each deal a win-win situation for all involved. He played a key role in arranging financing for notable projects ranging from the AT&T Tower to the Mall of America. In 2013, he was inducted into the Minnesota Real Estate Hall of Fame. He was still working on deals at Colliers before he passed. Also a lover of fast cars and motorcycles. Tom was predeceased by his parents and brothers, Pat, Bill, Jerry, Jack, and Jim. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ann; children, Matt (Mary Jane), and Angie (Andy) Porter; grandchildren, Cella, Jane, and Patrick; sisters-in-law, Peggy Faulhaber and Rosemary Faulhaber; and many nieces and nephews. They will dearly miss his generosity and warmth, and especially his charm and gift of the gab.
