THOMAS PERSINGER Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 29, 2017.
PERSINGER
THOMAS H.
Oct. 21, 1947 to Jan. 18, 2017. Father to Thomas H. Persinger, Jr., Russell Persinger, Melissa Pierson; grandfather to Nate and Sam Persinger and Lucas Pierson; husband to Lauralee Schreiber; brother to Patricia Garfunkel. Tom was a member of North Hills Masonic Lodge No. 716. During the Vietnam War Tom served honorably in the US Navy. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed fishing the lakes near his sister's home in the Poconos. He enjoyed karaoke and playing cards. Tom knew how to fix and build anything, but there was one thing he could not fix and that was his broken heart. Tom will be laid to rest at the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, PA following pending services at the CHARLES E. SNYDER FUNERAL HOME, in Lititiz, PA. Memorials may be sent to the Shrine Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.
