Thomas Gould Obituary

Thomas Arthur Gould
July 12, 1942 - Jan. 1, 2026
Thomas Arthur Gould, born on July 12, 1942, in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, passed away peacefully. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Susie (Risenhoover) Gould; his beloved wife, Jane Gould, whom he now joyfully joins in heaven; and his siblings, Ernie, Billy, Jean, Hettie, Imo Jean, and Juanita.
Thomas is survived by his brother, Bobby Gould; and by his loving children: Lisa Pytka (Jan), Thomas Gould (Lisa), and Mike Gould (Emily). He also leaves behind many cherished grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him great pride and joy.
Thomas worked for many years at International Silver, where he was known for his dedication and strong work ethic. Outside of work, he found his greatest happiness on the water. He was an avid fisherman who loved spending weekends on his boat, enjoying the peace and freedom it brought him.
In his later years, Thomas resided at Valley Manor in Torrington, Connecticut, where he and his wife, Jane, received exceptional care.
Thomas will be remembered for his quiet strength, love for family, and the simple joys he cherished throughout his life. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Services are private, and the celebration of life will be held at a later date. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.dellavecchiawolcott.com . DellaVecchia Funeral Home, 690 Woodtick Rd., Wolcott, has been entrusted with funeral arrangements.
