Thomas Carroll Obituary
Born in New York City, son of the late Elaine (Keenoy) and Thomas F. Carroll, Thomas was a graduate of George Washington High School in New York, N.Y.
Thomas was a long time resident of Levittown before moving to Yardley, in 2005 and then Newtown in 2020. He was a member of the Queen of the Universe Parish.
Thomas retired from Amtrak after working there for over 32 years in various leadership roles.
Thomas' true passion was spending time with his family. He never missed any of his son's events and was always making sure that the family traveled together on numerous vacations and day trips to Six Flags.
Beloved husband of 50 years to the late Eileen Marie (Cunneen) Carroll, Thomas is the loving father of Thomas Carroll, Jr. (Sue), John Carroll (Ruth), James Carroll (Jennifer), Robert Carroll (Nina), Kenneth Carroll and Stephen Carroll (Kelly).
Thomas will be sadly missed by his ten adoring grandchildren and three great grandchildren, Ashley, Thomas, Joseph, Anthony, Alexa, Aaron, Dominic, Zachary, Madison, Scarlett, Jaxson, Oliver and Zachary.
Thomas was also preceded in death by his sister Patricia Carroll and brother John Carroll. He is survived by his sister Mary Elaine (Carroll) Lehr and her husband James.
The family would like to recognize all of the healthcare workers who have provided him with amazing care during his illness; especially Cathy and Maria who were his angels.

My sincere condolences to the Carroll family. I knew Tommy for 30 plus years as we worked together all of that time. Several months ago, I met him and we talked about family and reminisced about the many good times both at work and in our personal lives. He truly was a good friend and will be missed. God Bless.

Mr. and Mrs. Carroll were like second parents to us Schultz boys. If they were not hauling all of us Schultz and Carroll boys around then our parents were. Growing up when we would go to the Carroll's house we were treated like it was our own home too. We will miss Mr. Carroll dearly. RIP with your love Mrs. Carroll. Prayers to my second family of brothers!! Love you guys
