Thomas C. Cole

Thomas C. Cole, 74, of West Pittston, passed away Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023. He was surrounded by love with his family by his side after battling cancer for two years; he was our family's hero.

Born in Pittston, he was a son of the late George and Angeline Martino Cole and was a graduate of Pittston High School.

He retired from Tobyhanna Army Depot. In 2016.

Tom enjoyed hunting, fishing and went on several hunting trips to Colorado, but he most enjoyed being "pop-pop" to all of his grandchildren.

Tom is survived by his wife, Bonnie; sons, Barry (Jeanine), Harleysville; and Brian (Tina), Hanover Twp,; grandchildren, Matthew, Jeffery, Dyllon and Vanessa Cole; brothers, George Cole, Pittston; Robert Cole (Patricia), Duryea; brothers-in law and sisters-in-law, John Ruane (Gail), Harding; Stephen Bankoski (Gebby), Stillwater; and Robin Rogers, Exeter; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. We cannot forget his fury friend, Shelby.

As per Tom's wishes, there will be a private viewing and service that will be held at the convenience of the family.

The Cole family would like to thank Hospice of the Sacred Heart for their wonderful care and compassion that they showed for Tom.
