Thomas Reischman Obituary


Thomas George Reischman

Passed on in peace and comfort, surrounded by his family, at his sister's home in Elk Grove, California, on October 30, 2012. Born on April 25, 1948 in Everett, Washington, Tom was 64 years old.
Tom loved his family and friends with fierce loyalty and a gentle heart, enjoyed playing golf, spending time at his home in Bodega Bay and did not get through a day without his peanut M&Ms and diet coke!
Tom leaves behind his daughters and sons-in-law, Jennifer and Danny Lucchesi, Sara and Matt Moore and Alexandra Reischman; grand-children, Noah, Emma, Harrison and Zachary; his brother and sisters, Bob Reischman, Kay Smith, Nancy Reedy, Mary Callies; and many other family and friends.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Ed and Ethel Reischman, and sister and brother-in-law, Sue and Buzz Dire.
We find peace in knowing that Tom is no longer limited in the restrictions his body had put on him, and can now reunite with his soulmate and wife of 32 years, Vicki, who passed in 2004.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Tom's life at a memorial service on November 10, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, 32890 South River Road, Clarksburg, CA 95612.

Love to Jennifer, Sara and Alex and their families. I've always appreciated my friendship with your family and I will miss your dad.

Tom and Vicki gave me my first job -- cleaning house, where one of my tasks was to iron Tom's shirts. (Which I did not do very well, but he didn't seem to mind!) Vicki helped me open my first bank account and she wrote me a glowing recommendation letter for my first "real" job. They were good friends and role models when I was a teenager, and I will always be thankful for their warmth and generosity.

Our family's thoughts and prayers are with the Reischmans. We have many wonderful memories of Tom and Vicki, especially of our time as neighbors in Bellevue and of my trip to Mexico with Tom.
