Publish in a newspaper

Thomas Ragazinskas was born on February 25th, 1948, in Cleveland, Ohio to Joseph and Anna (Yanusaitis) Ragazinskas. He was baptized as a baby in Cleveland, Ohio in 1948. Tom served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War and served two deployments overseas, in Sondrestrom, Greenland and in Utapao, Thailand.
Tom started his service in the Air Force, at Minot Air Force Base in Minot, North Dakota. It was during his time in Minot when he met his wife Eunice (Frick) Ragazinskas. Then during his deployment, Tom and Eunice planned their wedding by sending letters back and forth with invitation, meal plans, flower arrangements, and other such wedding plans. When Tom returned home the big day was set, and Tom and Eunice were married on July 17th, 1971. They were married for 48 years until the passing of Eunice on January 29th, 2020.
After Tom's service in the Air Force, he went to find work in the civilian sector, where he was hired as a UPS delivery driver. He worked for 31 years at UPS as delivery driver where he was inducted into the Circle of Honor for over 25 years of safe driving. He loved his customers, and they loved him and his friendly demeanor and care.
Tom's favorite hobbies were camping, hunting, bike riding, motorcycle riding, and photography. He served as Scout Master for his son's Boy Scout Troop, and he was also very active in the churches he attended. He served as President of the Congregation and Elder.
Tom was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather who loved the Lord. He loved his family and provided for them his whole life. He believed in Jesus and shared the love of Jesus with those around him. He will be dearly missed!
Tom was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Ragazinskas; mother, Anna (Yanusaitis) Ragazinskas; sister, Barbara (Ragazinskas) Pontious; sister, Joan (Ragazinskas) Johnson; and his wife of 48 years, Eunice (Frick) Ragazinskas.
He is survived by his sister, Elaine (Ragazinskas) Glover [Paul Glover]; children, Nathan Paul Ragazinskas [Rachel Ann (Duncan) Ragazinskas], Rachel Anna (Ragazinskas) Purvis; grandchildren Sarah Ann Ragazinskas, Olivia Elizabeth Ragazinskas, Emma Grace Ragazinskas and Aayden Christian Purvis.
