Thomas Kaider Obituary
Tom is survived by his parents Joseph and Phyllis Kaider, siblings Lorraine (Mike), Russell (Pam) and Michael and his 4 adult children, Caitlyn, Stephanie (Nate), Joshua and Mary, as well as Aunt's, Uncle's, cousin's, niece's and nephew's.
Tom loved the great outdoors, over the years he enjoyed fishing, camping, canoeing, sports, bicycling, coin and stamp collecting. His greatest joy was knowing and sharing the love of Christ.
He was an Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow recipient. He served in the Navy as a nuclear power technician on a Los Angeles class fast attack submarine. He then worked at Lockheed Martin in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and worked on the space shuttle for many years. His career path then took him to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he worked on weather satellites for L3Harris.
Tom's career was a proud accomplishment for him but he found true pleasure in being with family and friends. Tom was a patriotic American and held a sincere appreciation for the freedoms that we have today.
His family's collective heart is heavy with grief. We know he knew he was loved and for that we are grateful.

Dear family and friends of Tom´s,
On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, we offer our sincere condolences at Tom´s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are always saddened whenever a fellow "Bubblehead" departs on Eternal Patrol. He served with honor in the U.S. Submarine Force.
To our "Brother-of-the-Phin" we say, "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas." Thank you for your service to our country.
To the family... "may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV).
