Thomas Carmello Obituary

Thomas Carmello

August 27, 1933 - December 15, 2024

Thomas James "Bud" Carmello put on his heavenly welding helmet and peacefully exited this world on Sunday, December 15, 2024. Bud was born on August 27, 1933, in Stockdale, Pa. He wore many hats during his 91 years, but he always referred to himself as a welder. Bud married Gayle (Pierson) in 1970 and they started building a life together. Moving to the Bitterroot in 1977, he was most proud of having his own shop and business, Bid Sky Muffler & Welding on Hwy93 N of Woodside, building his own house on Meridian Rd., and serving his country as a Corporal during the Korean War.

Bud's ashes will be interred at the Western Montana State Veteran's Cemetery in Missoula, Mont., on December 27, 2024. Condolences may be left for the family at www.dalyleachchapel.com.

Bud was such a great friend. He would always lend a hand no matter what was needed or how hard it was. Bud was the godfather for our daughter.

A good friend. Bud was the godfather to our daughter. A great trap shooter back in the day. We were out of town when BUD passed away. We had no idea of his passing until today.
