Thomas J.

Meers

Thomas J. Meers, age 83, formerly of Sag Harbor, NY died peacefully with his family surrounding him on March 12, 2025 in Clermont FL.

Tom grew up with his three sisters in Oceanside NY and graduated from Oceanside High School. He honorably served his country in the United States Air Force and pursued his love of aviation throughout his career, working at both Easthampton and Mattituck airports as well as at Northrop Grumman supporting the production of the F-14 Tomcat and E-2C Hawkeye.

He and his wife of 58 years raised a family and lived in Sag Harbor NY for over 40 years, later moving to Vassalboro, Maine after retirement to be closer to their grandchildren. In 2021 they moved south to Groveland FL.

Tom was dedicated to his family and the Catholic church, working tirelessly throughout his life, always putting others before himself. His strong sense of integrity and quiet demeanor was often noted by others. He volunteered at St. Vincent DePaul in Sag Harbor and the Sacred Heart Soup Kitchen in Waterville, Maine.

He enjoyed vegetable gardening, watching Formula1 racing, working on engines and most of all spending time with his family. His smile and sense of humor will be deeply missed by those he touched.

Thomas is survived by his wife, Mildred (Millie); his children, Carleen Meers, Christine Nadeau, and Suzanne Southworth; his grandchildren, Celina Nadeau, Kassandra Nadeau, Alexandra Southworth and Ryan Southworth; and his dear friend(cousin), Jimmy Meere as well as numerous extended family members.

A funeral mass will be held April 12, 2025 at 11am at St. Andrew's RC Church in Sag Harbor, NY.
