Thomas F. Milideo
July 31, 1938 — July 31, 2009
To Laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave this world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because I have lived... This is to have succeeded... and captures the essence of a life well lived between its sunrise on December 6, 1937 and its sunset on July 31, 2009.
Thomas F. "Tommy" Milideo, age 71 of Stratford , passed away on Saturday July 31, 2009 at Penn Wissahickon Hospice in Philadelphia, PA.
Mr. Milideo was born in Philadelphia and was raised in South Philly, St. Edmonds Parish. He was a lifelong and loyal hometown fan who loved the Phillies and the Eagles. Tommy faithfully defended his country, during the late 50's, in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged before the start of Vietnam . As a young hard working man he started his career in the mailroom of Glaxo-Smith Kline in Philadelphia . After 47 years he retired in 2003 as a Senior Production Coordinator.
Tommy will be remembered as a generous and compassionate family man who treated everyone with respect. He held his faith dear and had worshiped at St. Gregory's Church in Magnolia. Mr. Milideo was an avid reader and loved to spend time at home in both the garden and the kitchen, with big band music in the background.
A loving and dedicated husband and Father; Mr. Milideo is survived by his wife of 33 years Dorothy Milideo (nee Muir) of Stratford. He is the father of Kirsten M. and her husband Peter Saleh of Nutley, Lauren E. Milideo of Stratford and Karen A. Milideo of Schenectady, NY. Tommy had been predeceased by four of his siblings.
