C. Thomas Tonn, age 91, passed away on October 23, 2026, in West Chester, PA. Tom was born in Loma Linda, CA, spending his youth in Lodi, CA, before graduating High School and joining the Air Force. Tom served his nation proudly for over 5 years, briefly spending time in Denver, CO, before deploying to Korea to assist the occupational forces there. The Air Force would then send Tom to Levittown in Long Island, NY, where he would meet his future wife, Felicia Bagenski. The two would remain on Long Island, raising their family there until 1992 when they would move to Mullica Hill, NJ to spend most of their retirement years. Tom enjoyed a long career with AT&T, working as a Switchman before moving into a management role as an Operator Group Manager.

Tom was a devout Catholic, serving his community and church as a member and past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Holy Name Council 12503. Most recently, Tom was an active member of St. Simon and Jude Catholic Church in West Chester, PA.

In his free time, Tom enjoyed bowling, solving puzzles, and spending time with his family. He was also an avid carpenter, a long-time hobby that would flourish in his retirement years. Tom started out building cabinets, but he could craft just about anything. For many years, he would craft model cars, birds, and other small toys, handing them out freely when he and his wife were out at their favorite diner. This act of generosity would earn him the nickname of the "Toy Guy".

Tom is the son of the late Emil F. Tonn and Zelpha Walsh, brother of the late Edward Tonn, and he was the devoted and loving husband of the late Felicia Tonn (2023).
