Thomas Arnone Obituary
Thomas Arnone 1931-2025
A truly legendary gentleman passed away on December 3rd at his home with family present at the age of 94. He is survived by his “trophy wife” Patricia who was his true love for over 65 years, their 5 children Mary, Joe, Chris, Pat and Tom and their grandkids Josh, Dan, Vince, Tess, Payton and Ethan.
Following their marriage, Thomas and Patricia began their military and family raising years in Texas. Thomas was an Air Force navigator and pilot in the B-36, B-47 and B-52 bombers in Texas, North Dakota, California, Washington and Vietnam. After serving honorably for 20 years, Thomas and Patricia retired to their small farm north of Lake Blaine in 1972. Here, Thomas became the steward of his slice of paradise on earth.
Thomas was a multi-talented individual, and he enriched the lives of everyone he crossed paths with. Among his many exploits he was a carpenter, electrician, craftsman, artist, farmer, hunter, cyclist, bicycle builder, motorcyclist, motorcycle restorer, volunteer fireman, big brother, husband, father and friend.
He will be remembered fondly and missed dearly by all who knew him.
