Obituary

Thomas Spanos, a charismatic retired Ford employee,

entered into eternal rest peacefully December 23, 2020

surrounded by his loving family at age 74.

His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile.

He was one of three children. As a child, he loved singing Christmas carols in his village.

On June 24th, 1984 he married Theresa "Terry"(nee Derga) in a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding.

With Terry, he achieved what he believed to be his greatest accomplishments;

raising amazing children and over 36 years of marriage.

He was an avid card player and a faithful church member with a great sense of humor.

His jolly personality is seen in his young granddaughter, Chloe.

Thomas George Spanos died December 23rd at his home surrounded by his immediate family.
