Thomas Ralph Becker, age 87, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. He was born in Cincinnati on January 21, 1938, to Ralph and Veronica Becker (nee Monahan).
Tom was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Bernice Ann Becker, as well as his parents, Ralph and Veronica Becker, and his brothers, Jerry and Bill Becker. He is survived by his daughter, Susan Marie (Brian) Miller; his sons, Greg (Diane) Becker and Mike (Amy) Becker; his brother, Bob Becker; his sisters, Pat Espelage and Peggy Eichhold; his grandchildren, Ryan Kruse, Matthew (Tori) Kruse, Scott Kruse, McKenzie Becker, Morgan (Atrayue) Becker, and Kyle Becker; and his great-grandchildren, Zola Kruse, Zane Kruse, and Onyx Savage, along with a host of other family members and friends.
A man of many passions, Tom enjoyed golfing, bowling and was a devoted fan of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. He cherished the time spent with his family and took great delight in having his grandchildren over for visits. A hardworking individual, Tom dedicated himself to his career until the age of 80 and never took a sick day. His annual trips to Florida brought him joy, where he gathered with friends year after year. Saturdays were a special tradition for Tom and Bernie, as they would have dinner at Kennings Restaurant at the same time each week.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions be made to Elder High School.
