Thomas Palmer, 58, of Wallingford, passed away in his home after losing his battle with cancer on September 8, 2018, with his friends and family by his side. Born in Torrington, CT, on December 29, 1959, he was the son of Robert Palmer and Yolanda Lundquist.

He was a loving and caring husband to his wife, Susan, of 32 years, and is also survived by his children Amanda (29) and Eric (28), as well as his brother Robert. Thomas loved working on cars, taking vacations with friends and family, and attending live music concerts. He will be dearly missed by those close to him.

Thomas graduated high school in Torrington in 1977, continued his studies at Worcestor Polytechnic Institute and further received his MBA at University of New Haven. He worked as an engineer at companies like Kodak, General Electric, and finally Commscope.
