Obituaries

Tom was born in Niles, California - a place he loved throughout his life. He attended Washington High School in Fremont where he met the love of his life, Myrna Meneze. After high school they married, and soon after Tom joined the Navy. Tom and Myrna settled in Newark where they raised their two beautiful daughters Kimberly and Kerri. Tom was a fun-loving, hardworking, good man, always there to help those in need. The only thing bigger than his pride was his heart. Tom loved his three grandchildren more than anything, they will miss him dearly. Tom was taken into the Lord’s hands on March 25th, 2016. May he forever rest in peace. We love you "Pops".

Preceded in death by his wife Myrna Pugmire in 2015. Survived by his daughters: Kim Culp, and Kerri Douglas (Jeffrey); and grandchildren: Alyssa Armstead (Derek), Jordann Douglas, and Matthew Cannataro.

Private family services will be held.
