A native of Hartwick, VT, he was born March 15, 1924, to the late Phillip and Susie (Norcross) Eastman and moved to this area in 1983 from East Hartwick, where he retired from the postal service as a Postmaster with 23 years of service. Tommy served our country during WWII in the U.S. Marine Corps and was a life member of V.F.W. Post 4252 of Hernando. He enjoyed traveling, hunting, fishing and most of all, his friends.

Sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. Growing up on the hill with Rick, Carol and Pam is often remembered as the best years of my life. Tommy was a good friend to my Dad and his brothers, along with my Uncle Wendell and the making of the Hootie Dome. I learned the game of baseball from them and Tommy taught me how to keep score. He had a great sense of humor and a laugh I will always remember. East Hardwick was a better place with Tommy and all he gave back to this community. He will be missed!

My condolences to Tommy's family.
Tommy Eastman was a great guy and mindful of the E. Hardwick, VT youth all his life. He went on to create thousands of memories for hundreds of young E. Hardwick kids both in basketball and in later years baseball. Not a bad legacy to leave behind!
He will be missed but, for many of us, the memories linger on!
Pleasant in all weathers!

My sympathies to Tommy's family. One of the best influences I had as a young boy growing up in East Hardwick. One of my Little League coaches (w/ Wendell Dimick) at a time when precious few adults dedicated their spare time to the enrichment of other people's children. A wise man who taught me so much more than how to play baseball. He always made us feel like winners regardless of the final score. In the game of life that was a lesson that still serves me well to this day. I will always remember him fondly and will endeavor to meet his standards.

In this time of loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers "I will always remember "Tommy" at the E. Hardwick Post Office with a big smile on his face. He always had a story to tell and made everyone smile. April A Slayton (Seabrook NH)

Please accept my condolences on your Dad's/Gramps passing. It is never easy to lose your Dad.
"Tommy" was such a good listener and friend to many in E Hardwick, you know that. He is missed and fondly remembered by many.
