Thomas Cassidy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 7, 2024.
Thomas Andrew Cassidy passed away with his family by his side on August 5, 2024. Born in Ridley Township, PA, on May 14, 1957, he was the beloved son of the late Thomas and Frances (Corboy) Cassidy and is survived by his siblings Patricia (Ed), Mary, and Joan. He graduated from Cardinal O'Hara High School in 1975 and attended Villanova University, where he made lifelong friends. Thomas worked as a warehouse manager for many years at ACME, and was also a caddy at numerous golf courses in the greater Philadelphia area. He loved trips to South Street, going down the shore with his wife, listening to music loudly on the beach, watching the Phillies, and being better than most at Jeopardy. Above all he had strong faith and was a devout Catholic. Thomas resided in Roxborough, Philadelphia, where he raised his family and was a cherished husband to Jeanne (Wack) for 40 years, a loving father to Thomas (Alex), Robert, and Kelly, and a devoted grandfather to Tyler and Ryan, along with the Wack family, and his many nieces, nephews, and godchildren. A true original who will be missed by all who loved him. Relatives and friends are invited to Thomas's Life Celebration. A viewing will be held in his honor at 10:00 AM, followed by a funeral mass at 11:00 AM on Monday, August 12, at Holy Family Church, located at 234 Hermitage Street in Roxborough, Philadelphia. A luncheon in his memory for his family and friends will be held at Manayunk Brewery and Restaurant at 12:30 PM, located at 4120 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA.

So sorry for your loss. Tom was a neighborhood friend. We grew up at a wonderful time when kids went outside to play. In high school my brother drove us to school. Tom was late every day, keeping us laughing though on the ride to school. In later years we caught up at a high school reunion. The days of driving to high school in my brother's skylark are memories I will treasure.

There are no words I can offer to Jeanne and her family that will express how deeply sorry I am about Tom's passing. Tom and Jeanne were such gracious hosts whenever I would visit their house in Anglesea. I pray for God's love to offer them all comfort during this difficult time, especially for my loving cousin, Jeanne. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs to all. With deepest sympathy and love, Lynn
