Edward Hollander Obituary

Hollander, Edward T. "Tom"

Dec 10, 2024

Of Clarence, NY, passed at the age of 86. Our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Tom left us. Tom passed away peacefully in his sleep with his loving and devoted wife, Judy, by his side. Married 32 years, they shared all of life's adventures and challenges with laughter and humor. He was her rock and one true love. Tom is survived by his wife Judy. He was the dear father of Michael (Lynn) Hollander, Jodi (Gerry) Glose, Lisa (Scott) Dreyer, Tricia Hollander, Kristine Hollander (Anne Marie) and predeceased by Sandra Hollander. He was step-father to Shelly (Phil) Krueger. Tom is also survived by 13 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Tom was a very successful Realtor and former president of the Buffalo Niagara Board of Realtors. During his career he served on many committees for the Board of Realtors and was dedicated to the real-estate industry. Tom loved golfing with his Friday night gang; and even though he knew he would never make the PGA (due to water and trees!) he was still determined. To remember the man is to remember the hope and positivity he had in any situation. The highlights of Tom's life resemble a beacon of hope rather than a memory. He will truly be missed by many. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, May 24, 2025 at 10:30 AM at the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 4375 Harris Hill Rd., Williamsville, NY 14221. Memorial Contributions may be made to Hospice Buffalo, Inc. Arrangements by: ERIE COUNTY CREMATION SERVICE. Please share your condolences at: www.eriecountycremationservice.com.

May you rest peacefully, ET. I will always remember you heading down the hallway of your and Judy's apartment when I would come over to hang out with my childhood friend Shelly. You, with your towering height, your sense of humor, that twinkle in your eye and an impish grin on your face. Shelly and I were goofy, young teenagers and you always indulged our silliness. I thank you for that grace because not many adults in my teenage world had gone along with my and my friends' antics. It was always fun when you were around! Thank you for making an impact. Your work here is done, and what a job you did! :-)
