Our hearts are broken with the recent passing of our beloved Tom
Tom was born in Daytona Beach, Florida to Rena Blanton Riedel and Morris Edward Riedel. Tom graduated from Daytona Beach's Mainland High school in 1960.
He served in the US Army 1962 -1964 in Germany and the USA. He has been married to wife Rosalie since 1966 and together they enjoyed traveling, hiking, and exploring the USA and Canada. Tommy loved to drive and recently returned from a road trip to Ottawa, Canada. He spent many summers in Waynesville NC area as a child and whenever he could in later years.
Tommy began his work career with GE in Daytona Beach in the aeronautics industry and winning awards with the Apollo support program. He worked in Cape Kennedy FL, in Boston MA and Fort Lauderdale Fl. Later he owned Plants-a-Plenty nursery in Fort Lauderdale, FL and developed his love of gardening and sales. Tom spent many years as a Sales Representative and consultant for various paint manufacturers through Custom Caulking and Southern Paint. In his early career he was an awarding winning salesman for Yellow pages.
He is survived by wife Rosalie Langille Riedel, two brothers James and Jeffrey. His sisters-in-law: Dolores Wood, Bonita Harris (Ed), and Mai Joe Langille; brothers-in-law: Martin Langille and Daniel (Terri) Langille.
