Thomas F Reardon

Thomas Francis Reardon passed away peacefully at home on November 6th, 2026, reunited with the love of his life, his beloved wife, Ellen.

Thomas was born in Stamford, Connecticut on October 28th, 1945 to Thomas Francis Reardon Sr. and Anne M. Reardon. Tom graduated from Fairfield College Preparatory School, class of 1963. He met the love of his life, Ellen, and the two were married on February 25, 1972. Together, they built a beautiful life centered around family, love, and countless memories created over 51 years of marriage.

Tom was a talented carpenter who spent much of his life working with his hands and taking pride in a job well done. He also worked at the Turn of River Hardware Store, where he became a familiar face in the community. Later in his career, Tom served as Director of Exhibits at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, bringing his creativity, craftsmanship, and talents to a place enjoyed by so many. Tom loved sharing a workplace with Ellen and cherished their lunches where their children would often join them.

While Tom took pride in his work, his greatest accomplishment and his greatest joy was his family. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his children and grandchildren. Whether cheering them on from the sidelines, talking to them about the Yankees and the New York Giants, or planning fantasy football teams with his grandsons, he treasured every moment. He was happiest surrounded by the people he loved, and his quiet presence, warmth, and devotion to his family will be deeply missed.

Tom was predeceased by his beloved wife of 51 years, Ellen Reardon; his parents, Thomas Francis Reardon and Anne M. Reardon; his sister, Sheila Piscetta; his brother, Paul Reardon; his brother-in-laws Bruce Montgomery, Thomas Piscetta, Thomas Donahue; and his niece, Lucienne Montgomery.

He leaves behind his loving children, David Reardon, Jessica Wieneke (Michael), and Tim Reardon (Jessica); and his cherished grandchildren, Ella, Michael, and Drew, who brought him immeasurable pride and happiness.

He is also survived by his sisters, Sister Maureen Reardon, RSM, and Anne Donahue; his nephew, Paul Reardon (son of his late brother Paul), with whom he shared a special bond; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Janet and Russ Bjork; sister in law Deborah Dean; and many loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews.

Tom’s life was not measured by the things he built or the work he accomplished, but by the family he raised, the love he shared, and the memories he leaves behind. His greatest legacy lives on in the people who were lucky enough to call him Dad, Papa, brother, uncle, and friend.
