He was the youngest son of the late Bernard Russel Garrity Sr. and Julia (Prior) Garrity. Thomas served in the United States Air Force and was a veteran of the Korean War. He served at the Alaska Air Command and was then stationed at the Pentagon in Washington D.C. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Providence College in 1961. Soon after, he married his beloved Jennie (DiMeglio) Garrity. While raising three children together, Thomas was a plant manager of Glass Containers Corp in Danielson, Connecticut until he moved his family to Placentia, California in 1977.

He was a proud grandfather to eight amazing grandchildren, Annaliesa, Makaila, Lauren, Owen, Erin, Kristen, Kacie, and Kelly, who were the light of his life.
