Thomas H. Wingert Sr.

My first memory of Tom is when he and his Sweet
Shirley walked into the Puppy Patch in Elmira Heights.
He picked up the cutest little black and white ShihTzu puppy and said to Shirley, " look what I found" ....it was Love at first sight!
And thus little Molly went home with them that day and became their beloved companion.
That day also started a Dear friendship between Tom, Shirley and myself. As once a month they came back to the PP to have lil Molly groomed. I so enjoyed their visit as Tom usually had us all laughing with his lighthearted sense of humor!
After a few years, I introduced them to Retirement Estates where my husband and I lived. What a Joy it was when they purchased a home there and became part of our Community. And may I mention that it wasn't just any home....Shirley and I always said we had the best two homes in our neighborhood, as they were the only two homes with the Very Best floor plan!
Only their home became even more Special as Tom added his workshop where he enjoyed sharing his craft & talent.
In knowing Tom and Shirley, I also had the pleasure of spending time with there two amazing daughters, Pam & Penny. ...who remind me very much of Tom....Wonderfully Caring, Brutal Honest, and Lots and of Lots Fun!!!
My husband and I have recently moved to Utah to be closer to family. But during this Beautiful Christmas Season , our Hearts are reminded of those Dear friends back in NY.
Dear Shirley, Pam, Penny Tom Jr & Molly
We are Sending Hugs & Love during this difficult time,
Know that You are in our Thoughts and Prayers.
"God Bless," Love & Miss You ,
Mary & Werner Zurcher XOXO

Dear Shirley and family,
Our deepest sympathy on Tom's passing. We are honored to have called you and Tom friends! We will long remember Tom, his woodworking crafts, his bright spirit, and his sense of humor. May you and your family find peace in knowing that Tom is now in Gods loving arms.

Penny, Pam & Tommy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good man and I will always remember the fun we had at your house and ours. Who but us can say they had fun during the flood, your dad put up with a lot from all of us girls and there is a special place in heaven for him. Love you guys. Marianne

I will miss that great sense of humor Tom had and miss talking to him , he was a very caring friend.

Our deepest condolences to your family during this time of loss!

What a wonderful person Tom was. He and his wife Shirley were dear friends of Marjorie Oparil.
Our condolences to the family.
