Tom Sweeny
1931-2024
The Chippewa Flowage has lost another legend…. Tom Sweeney, patriarch of Shady Nook Resort since 1960 (1961 first summer). He has been very active in both the Lake Chippewa Flowage Resort Assn.(President)And the Hayward Lakes Resort Assn. He loved this lake and all the resorts on it. His genuine caring and concern for others will be long remembered.
At 93 years of age, Tom held many honored titles. A father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. A cherished friend to so many, a leader in the community, and a stalwart presence to all who knew him.
His spirit will echo on in all of us. Our remembrance of his kindness and his character will always be at the heart of the resort that was his life and home for 64 years.
We know Tom has touched many lives, warmed many hearts, and is part of so many cherished memories.
