Thomas Casey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Schantz Funeral Home, P.C. - Emmaus on Jan. 9, 2026.
Thomas N. Casey, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2026. Born March 24, 1926 in Springfield, OH; he was the son of Thomas J. and Pauline Frances (Myers) Casey. He was predeceased by the love of his life, Mary Margaret (Heeger) Casey in 2012; also by his only brother, Paul, in 1999. Employed at the White Motor Co., in Springfield, OH, for 17 years, he left to join Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. in Allentown, PA, in 1962, after moving his family to Emmaus. He retired from Air Products in 1989. He was an active member of St. Ann's Catholic Church, in Emmaus, as a choir member, Boy Scout Leader and solicitor for annual fundraisers.

He is survived by 7 children: Paul (Denise Gaal) in Edenton, NC; Patrick (Beverly) in Emmaus; Phillip (Melody) in Macungie; Peggy in Kutztown; Sean in Emmaus; Kevin (Donna) in Macungie; and Anne (wife of Christopher Roth) in Bethlehem; 18 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.

The centerpieces of Tom' life were his family and friends and his devotion to his church. Much of Tom's time both before and after retirement was spent doing things for family members and friends. He was always available to help in any way that he could. After retirement Tom attended mass at St. Anne's Catholic Church daily. He remained a very devout Catholic throughout his life.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wed., Jan. 14, 2026 at 11:00 AM at St. Ann's Catholic Church, 415 S. 6th St., Emmaus. Viewing Tue., Jan. 13, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in Schantz Funeral Home, P.C., 250 Main St., Emmaus. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Emmaus.

My condolences to Tom's family. I have many, many great memories working with Tom, whether the focus was flowsheets for a project or visuals for a presentation. He was always easy to work with and very competent in his job in addition to being a good friend.

I always remember him for being
a good guy with his door always open when I worked for him at Tech Services.
But most young, I remember him as being a pretty good tennis player.
He even let me beat him one time.
Rest in peace, Tom.
