Sadly we announce Tom’s passing on May 21,2024 at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park, MN. He died peacefully in his sleep, having spent many days with family at his side.
He was born June 3, 1937, to Nicholas and Demitra Limberis in Minneapolis, MN. He is survived by his wife Bette Chisholm, her daughter Andrea (Jack Gresser and grandchildren Carter and Mitchell Gresser); brother, Chris (Nancy), Limberis, their children Nickie, Angie, Brooke (Jason Devine) and Ian; and by many treasured nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, niece Gina Umphlett and her son, Andrew; sisters-in-law Mary Warner (Charles) and Katharine Lindholm Talberg (Norman, Morris).
Tom graduated from Central High School and the University of Minnesota.
