THOMAS ROSENBAUM Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 20, 2020.
ROSENBAUM--Thomas E., of Mamaroneck, NY, passed away on September 16th, 2020, at The Connecticut Hospice in Branford, CT. He worked for more than 40 years at the Rockefeller Archive Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY. He was the beloved son of the late Madge (Salomon) Rosenbaum and Edward P. Rosenbaum. He leaves behind his sister and brother-in-law, Judith Rosenbaum and Matthew Jones, of Melrose, MA; a nephew, Benjamin Jones; and a niece, Eleanor Jones. Tom's family and many friends and colleagues will sorely miss his kindness, compassion, intelligence, wit, and enormous courage. A memorial service will be planned at the Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation in White Plains, NY, at a time when such a gathering can be safely held. Donations in Tom's name may be made to the Unitarian Universalist Ser-vice Committee at: uusc.org.

Tom was a rare treasure of a friend. He was generous in his living and in planning for his end of life. His generosity is going on in good works through the lives of many. What a blessing

The example of Tom's generosity, kindness, gentle wisdom, care for the decency of humanity, and perseverance in the face of anythihg lives on in the lives of so many he touched. I am ever grateful for having walked life with him.

Tom is in my thoughts often. His subtle humor and warm friendship will forever be remembered and missed. It seems impossible that a year has gone by since he left us. I miss him.

I will miss Tom very much. He called me every few months (and after a few weeks of phone tag we'd finally connect). He was a dedicated friend, and I will miss having such a caring person in my life and in this world. I hope wherever his spirit is, he has found comfortable shoes, delicious foods, and good books.

Tom was a deeply compassionate and principled man....cherished for his generosity of spirit, sharp wit, willingness to engage in meaningful conversation, courage in the face of multiple challenges, and loyalty. I am so blessed to have shared life and love with him.

I learned a lot from Tom. He had a holistic, non judgmental view of the world. We had good conversations that enriched me. Rest in peace, friend.

Tom was a steady presence at CUUC - White Plains. It meant a lot to me when I first went to that church and he sought me out each week to say hello. I remember him wearing a "no death penalty" button and I was impressed that he was "vocal" about an issue that had fallen out of the news. I'll remember him as a patient, principled, warm person!

Dear Judy,
I'm sure Tommy appreciated your help and your visits, and knew that he was loved. I'm sorry that I never told him how he was important to me.
Love,
Caroline

Tom had a huge heart and was filled with compassion. he made everyone he spoke with feel important. He was passionate about his work and contributed to his congregation and to society in general in abundance. His passing leaves a huge hole that will never be filled.

I will miss Tom a great deal. We had not talked in some time and I am sorry for that - we would speak at length about the political environment - but I couldn't talk about the way things were right now. I am sad to think that he will no longer be here to see this country come out of this darkness on the other side.

We knew Tom for 25 years at CUUC. He was a gentle, compassionate man with a wisdom that he was very modest about
Our deepest condolences to his family. He will be missed
