Thomas Vernon Dameron

February 22, 1943 - September 17, 2020

Tom Dameron, beloved husband of Judy Dameron (née) Strzalko for 53 years,left this earth to reunite with his cherished daughter, Megan, and his twin brother, Jerry, who predeceased him. He is survived by dearest son Christopher (Dawn),and cherished grandchildren, Rowan and Cullen.Tom was dear brother to Joan Carson ( the late Douglas), Jerry (Rosemary),John, (Denise) Dameron and Karen Barlow ( Tom). He is also survived by sister-in-law Sandra White (Jim) and several special nephews and nieces , and dear friends. Tom deeply loved his family, teaching second and third grades for 30 years and his real estate endeavors. He was an artist who always “ dressed up “ store bought “Birthday, Get Well or Thinking of You” cards that Judy would send. All looked forward to receiving his special greetings. In his younger days, Tom enjoyed playing guitar, singing loudly every chance he got whether at a school hootenanny or Sunday mass . He had so many unique life experiences. He started by “punching cows” on his Uncle’s ranch at age 16 and continued to relive the experience throughout his life. Years later, he and Judy traveled extensively through Europe,Asia and Africa. His happiest times were spent helping a fellow teacher, or neighbor who had a problem with a class, a computer, car, engine or machine sometimes calling on brother John for assistance. Spending time with the kids, gardening, writing, sailing and trying to spot humming birds were his passion, later followed by an interest in Genealogy. Tom will be missed beyond words. He was so loved by family, friends and neighbors whose lives he touched even when his health was fading. His always unfailing love and care for Judy, Chris,Megan,Dawn,Rowan and Cullen will never be forgotten. A memorial celebration of life will be held at a later date due to Corona Virus restrictions.
