Born on November 21, 1946, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Thomas passed away peacefully at the age of 79 on December 16, 2025.

Thomas led a life marked by service, dedication, and love. He proudly served four years in the United States Air Force, achieving the rank of Sergeant and receiving an honorable discharge. On June 10, 1972, he married Joann Chiarini, and they shared a remarkable 53 years of marriage.

He dedicated over 30 years as a letter carrier with the Philadelphia Post Office. A lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, Thomas had a passion for saltwater fish tanks, model trains, and cars. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor and his love of social gatherings. He spent many summers in Wildwood NJ, and enjoyed time spent with family and friends, he enjoyed many gatherings with former coworkers at the Irish Pub and Nick's Roast Beef which were among his cherished memories.

Above all, Thomas treasured watching his grandchildren grow and creating lasting memories with his loved ones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Florence Chiarini; his in-laws, Michael and Rina Paranzino; his brother-in-law, Michael Paranzino; and his niece, Karen Lally.

Thomas is survived by his devoted wife, Joann Chiarini; his loving daughter and son-in-law, Dana and Brian Milleman; his grandchildren, Anderson Milleman, with whom he shared a birthday with, and his grand daughter Celena Milleman. He also leaves behind his sister, Marie Lally, with whom he shared a very close bond; his brothers-in-law, Thomas Lally and John Paranzino; and his nieces and nephews, Jim Lally (Julie), Laura Lally, Sara Lally, Amber Lally, and Ryan Lally.

In keeping with his wishes, Thomas's life will be honored and remembered privately by his family.

With love and remembrance.
