Thomas Falin Obituary
1931-2025
Thomas A. Falin, 94, of Glen Mills, died on December 5, 2025. He was formerly of Philadelphia, Reading, Havertown, Wilmington,DE and Drexel Hill. He is survived by three of his children, Mary Rowan Elliott (Robert), Thomas A. Falin Jr., Kathleen Falin Casper (Edward) and his daughter-in-law, Terri Falin. He also leaves behind five grandchildren: Lauren Lakebrink (Drew), Christine Pastore (Patrick), Scott Falin, Kelly Belfie (John), Taylor Brooks (Michael) as well as six great grandchildren (Keene, Reed, Amalia, Lilly, Ava and Emersyn). Tom was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Doris Rowan Falin, his mother Anne Averdick Falin, his father Thomas A. Falin, his brother Robert Falin, his son John Young Falin and his grandson John Thomas Casper. They will lovingly remember him for his love of God, family and community.
Tom had an impressive professional career as a CPA, but he often said the accomplishment he was most proud of was his family. He enjoyed reading, international and domestic travel, music and attending children's music, sporting and academic events. A man of integrity, Dad dedicated his life to his family. He taught us the value of hard work and simple joys. He always had a firm belief in doing what was right and was a language extraordinaire. Rest in peace Dad, we love you forever.
His family is forever grateful for the compassion and patience extended by many at Maris Grove.
Tom's funeral and burial in Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery are private, attended by only immediate family. If so desired, contributions in Toms' memory may be made to your favorite charity.

To the family of Doris and Tom, I would like to express my condolences for your loss. My name is Jim, and I was a letter carrier for 31 years. I delivered mail to Tom and Doris in DH for the better part of 20 years and they and I had to many conversations to count. Always so very kind to me and generous as well. I am retired now but because I spent so many years in DH delivering mail, I became quite close to many family's on my mail route. Doris and Tom were special. In many ways. I'm sure you are very much aware and not surprised to hear that at all. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss. It was an honor for me to have known them. Unfortunately, I will never have the opportunity to meet their family. I just wanted to reach out the only way I can. I only hope you have the opportunity to see this. God bless you.........
