Thomas "Tom" Garrett, age 63, of Lansford, Pennsylvania, passed away on February 20th, surrounded by family. He was born in Maryland, and moved to Coaldale as a child, where he grew up and met the love of his life, Cheryl Ann Garrett (Maurer). He was a veteran of the United States Army, proud to serve his country, and dedicated his life to his family and children. He cheered for the Philadelphia Eagles, enjoyed Busch beer, and was always the first one to offer guests a drink when he and Cheryl had family over during holidays. He could fix anything, and always smiled when his grandkids called him "Pap".
He is survived by his children Holly Cusack with husband Jason and son Easton, Thomas Garrett with wife Natalie and son Patrick; sisters Mary Lou Check with husband Al, Karen Valentine with husband Ken, and Kathy Turner; brother John Garrett; sister in law Mary Ann Halenar with husband Robert Bevich; brothers in law Frank and John Maurer, as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Cheryl Ann Garrett, his mother, Dolores Garrett (McHugh), and brother James "Jimmy" Garrett.
Services for Tom will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Online condolences may be made online at www.allentowncremationservices.com. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Heart Society.
