The family of Thomas George Redilla (Farmington Hills) is saddened to announce his unexpected passing on August 11, 2024, at 60 years of age. Tom grew up in Redford Township and was an exceptional athlete, playing travel hockey, baseball, basketball, football and golf. He was awarded a full scholarship to play football for the Hurons at Eastern Michigan University. During college, Tom was recruited by Domino's Corporate, and moved to the east coast, where he later made his home in New Jersey while running multiple Domino's franchise locations. His daughters, Amanda, Allison and Abby, enjoyed learning to "toss a pie" and help their dad in the stores. Tom was extremely proud of his girls and thoroughly enjoyed attending their sports and activities.
While living so close to Philadelphia, Tom became a huge Eagles fan and season ticket holder, attending many tailgates and games. He remained a loyal Red Wings fan, but also enjoyed the Flyers, Phillies and 76ers. Eventually Tom made his way back to Michigan and moved to Farmington Hills. Those who knew Tom, loved his outgoing and fun personality. He was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.
He was the beloved son of Martha and the late George. Dear brother of Lynda (Mike) Roberts and Lisa Redilla. Father of Amanda (Alex) King, Allison Redilla, and Abigail Redilla. Grandfather of Amelia. Uncle of Michael and Thomas.
Per his wishes, the family chose cremation. Join us at a Celebration of his Life to be held Sunday, September 22nd at One Under Banquet Facility(lower level) 35780 Five Mile Rd, Livonia, MI, 48154 from 11-4 p.m.
(Of course, since Tom would never miss an Eagles game, in honor of him, the Eagles will be playing at 1 p.m. Let's keep it football causal, the way Tom would like it, and wear your favorite team colors.)
The family thanks you for your warm expressions of sympathy, and gratefully requests that any donations be made in Thomas's memory go toward his memorial. All donations can be made by clicking this link, and must include Thomas Redilla as the family name. Thank you.
