Thomas M. Mortimer, Jr.

Thomas M. Mortimer, Jr. "Tommy", age 83, passed away on April 10, 2024, in Oxford, PA surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Ridley Park and grew up in different areas throughout Delaware County where he also raised his own children later in life. He was a graduate of Ridley Township Senior High School, which is where he met the love of his life, Anne. For over 35 years, Tommy worked at Esschem as a chemical operator where he later retired from leaving an incredible mark on his colleagues and the industry. Prior to his employment at Esschem, Tommy was a Merchant Marine for 4 years. For the past 21 years Tommy has called Oxford his home. Tommy was a huge sports fan rooting for the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In his younger years, he shared his passion for the game as a coach for the Folsom Football Club. In his spare time, Tommy loved spending time with his family, watching cooking shows, old western movies and also enjoyed the intellectual challenge of Jeopardy every night. He had a bond with all the dogs he raised throughout the years, where they were not just pets, but cherished members of the family. Tommy was also once a parishioner at Our Lady of Peace in Folsom, PA.
