Welcome to a place where the sole purpose is to honor the life of an extraordinary man by following in his footsteps of philanthropy, generosity and caring for others.
The extraordinary man is Tommy Leonard. An orphan, a runner, a Marine, and a bartender whose philosophy in life was to help others.
Painting of Tommy Leonard by Karen Rinaldo. This painting was presented to Tommy upon his selection as the Falmouth Historical Societies 2013 Heritage Award Winner. It currently resides at the far end of the bar at the Quarterdeck Restaurant. Karen was thrilled to have captured the very essence of the public, yet so private man, and honored to get his stamp of approval with the twinkle in his eye.
Tommy's Place - named for Tommy Leonard - is a magical vacation home for kids with cancer. There are two 10+ bedroom homes, one located in Falmouth, the other in Centerville. One family at a time, along with their extended family and friends, can visit for one week, free of charge. While there they can relax, make memories, and most important, have FUN!
