Thomas A. Namack of the Village of Masthope, PA, a lifelong resident, former NYC Firefighter and retired Fire Safety Director, passed away on Thursday, October 22, 2015 at Wayne Memorial Hospital. He was 68 years old. The son of the late Thomas J. and Winifred Joyce Namack, he was born February 23, 1947 in New York City, NY.

Tommy was a Vietnam veteran having served in the US Army. He was a former member of Ecker-Haupt VFW.

A family statement read, “Tommy was a loving and caring father and brother. He enjoyed the ocean, scuba diving and traveling. He was a wonderful cook, an avid gardener, loved to sing and dance, and enjoyed fireworks most of all. He was a huge sports fan, supporting the Yankees and the Giants, and much to the dismay of others, he LOVED wrestling. He always had a good joke, but underneath he had a heart of gold. He reached out to people in need and would take the shirt off his back to help the underdog. His life was full of adventure, but he spent his last months sitting on his deck with his cat, some jazz, good company, and the sun shining down on him; and he never wanted to be anywhere else. He will truly be missed; he inspired many people, especially his daughters of whom he was so proud.”

Survivors include his two daughters Julie Namack of New York City and Cailyn Namack of the Village of Masthope, PA, and their mother Bella Namack; his brother, James Namack of the Village of Masthope, PA; his twin sister, Janet O’Brien of the Village of Masthope, PA; and his sister, Joyce Hughes and her husband Justin of Fredericksburg, VA; his cat Missy that he loved; and many, many nieces, nephews and cousins.
