MORSHEIMER - Thomas W.
February 5, 2020;
entered into rest after a
lengthy illness. Beloved
husband of Helen (Jean)
and devoted father to
Mark (late Lisa Hale),
Marie (Alan) Kotas and
Elizabeth. Forever “Gpop” to his four
granddaughters Sarah, Leah, Erin and
Rachel; brother to Diane Harvey and the
late William Morsheimer. Tom graduated
from Canisius High School and
cherished his Jesuit education. He was
able to enjoy sharing time with former
classmates at gatherings for several
decades. He began work at Dunlop Tire
and Rubber Corporation in 1956 and
advanced through various technical,
engineering and managerial roles over
47 years. He enjoyed his work
immensely. Tom was member of the
Army Reserves and was honorably
discharged in 1963. He had an affinity
for anything related to water and sailing.
Tom and Jean were long standing
members of the Buffalo Yacht Club. He
pursued his passion for flying later in
life. He always held a soft spot for
animals and was most taken with his
last pet, Holly. The family would like to
express their gratitude to Hospice
Buffalo for the compassionate care
provided to Tom. A visitation and
celebration of Tom’s life will be held at
