He will be lovingly remembered for his big heart and love of animals, particularly horses.

Tom is loved by his mother, Marie Therese “Terri” of Naples; three brothers, James Rayner and his wife, Nancy of Billerica, Mass., Jack Rayner and his wife, Diane of North Andover, and Steve Rayner and his wife, Susie of Billerica, Mass.; two sisters, Kathleen Dupont and her husband, Wally of Chelmsford, Mass., and Allison Rayner of Naples; many nieces and nephews.
