Thomas Puchalski, 81, passed away Friday, October 2, 2020 at his daughter’s home in Pawling.
He was born in the Bronx on September 22, 1939 to John and Julia (Polchinski) Puchalski. He married Patricia Tolopka on October 30, 1960 and they were married for 52 years. Thomas was a construction worker for Construction Local Union #235 in Greenberg, NY, and was very proud of the buildings he helped build.
He loved to cruise with his family and spend time in the sun and on the beach, especially at his condo in Venice, FL; he always wanted to be with his family.
Thomas is survived by his daughters Linda, Carol, and Susan and son Robert; his brother Martin and sisters Margaret and Ann; 10 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, Abigail, who was the light of his life; and his sister-in-law, Marge.
