Thomas O’Reilly
SCARBOROUGH – Thomas O’Reilly, 89, of Scarborough, passed away on Nov. 24, 2025, surrounded by his family.
Tom was known for his love of his family, his outgoing personality, and his warmth and charm.
A Philadelphia native, Tom was proud of his military service and career achievements, but his greatest pride was in his family. He and his wife Lillian were married for nearly 60 years and raised four children together. He volunteered extensively during their childhoods, coaching and umpiring Little League and serving in multiple roles at St. Bartholomew Church. He rarely missed his children’s or grandchildren’s games, concerts, or events.
In retirement, Tom loved playing a round of golf, spending time with his grandchildren, and taking road trips with Lil, returning often to favorite places.
Tom is survived by his children Michael (Joanne), Sean (Carol), Kevin (Nancy), and Laurie; his grandchildren Madison, Jake, and Felicia; his brother, John, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Lil.
