Thomas Cull Obituary

March 22, 1933 - January 16, 2024 Thomas Francis Cull, 90, of Westlake Village, CA passed away peacefully on January 16, 2024 after a brief illness. Tom was born on March 22, 1933 in New Haven, CT, one of four children, to Edmund and Margaret Cull. After graduating from Yale University in 1953, Tom embarked on a nearly 60-year career in the Information Technology industry. Tom held many leadership positions during his distinguished career at companies including Honeywell International, TRW Datacom, Interactive Corporation and Impaq Information Management.

Tom's commitment to his career was eclipsed by his passion for social justice issues, which were lived out in the many causes he supported. Tom's work to bring about a world healed, unified and transformed continued up to his death.

The only things more important than his career and the causes he supported were family, faith, and community. The patriarch of a large family on both coasts as well as the UK, Tom maintained his relevance to those of all ages, serving as a mentor, champion and sounding board to countless extended family and friends. Tom radiated positivity, seeing solutions where others couldn't see light. He truly was an inspiration to all who met him.

Tom was preceded in death by his immediate family and son Ned. He is survived by Jean Marie, his wife of 56 years, son Thomas (Julia Epstein), daughter Cathleen, and granddaughters Olivia and Anabel Cull.

A memorial service will be held at Saint Jude's Catholic Church, Saturday Feb. 24, 2024 at 10am.

Tom Cull was one of the most kind, caring, compassionate, and loving persons I have ever met. Always an amazing listener, then willing to reflect another `brighter´ perspective from a foundation of genuine wisdom. Rest well Tom, rest in peace until we meet again.
