Thomas E. Grady passed away peacefully on Saturday February 22, 2025 at Schuylkill Center in Pottsville.
Born in Cumbola, PA on November 20, 1944 to the late Robert and Isabelle (Rusatsky) Grady. Tom had a full life of laughter and love for 80 years.
He graduated from Nativity B.V.M. High School and attended Bloomsburg University, but his entire career was dedicated to being a Master Carpenter.
Tom served in the Army Reserves and also played semi-pro football with the Coal Crackers. He was a die-hard Penn State and Phillies fan.
The most joy he found was watching his son Chris compete in football and basketball. Christopher was the light of his life.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister Loretta Sapp and her husband Bill, a sister-in-law Roseann Grady and a great niece Amanda Protivnak.
Tom is survived by his wife of 43 years, Sandra and their son Christopher and his companion Ruby and a brother Bobby, and his son David.

His niece Bethann and her husband Joe Protivnak and their son Cory and granddaughter Ava.
