Thomas Francis Beaulieu, 83, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 22,2021 in his home in Kettering, Ohio. He was a beloved husband of 57 years to his “honeygirl”, Judy. He was a loving father to his daughters Cynthia (Claudio) Bellini, Shawn (Darryl) Egbert, Robin (Jeff) Chew and Brandee (Jason) Hayes. He was a proud Grampy to Ashlee Schaffrinna, Brittany Bellini, Samantha Watkins, Jamie Bellini, Jon Watkins, Lexee Hayes, Zach Chew, Lauren Chew, Chloe Hayes, Ryan Chew, Allie Hayes and Audrey Egbert. He cherished his role of great-grandfather to Finley Schaffrinna and Eli Schaffrinna. He was a dear friend to William “Skip” Erhardt.
After serving in the Air Force for 22.5 years in the personnel department, Thomas retired as a Senior Master Sergeant in 1980. Following a break to obtain a degree from Sinclair Community College, he worked for the military as a civil servant for an additional 24 years. He retired from this position in 2005.
Thomas will forever be remembered by his adoration for golf, gambling, and game-shows. His family will smile when they think about memories such as Thomas chasing them as kids with shaving cream on his face, asking him for M&Ms from the special M&M jar, competing in an intense game of cribbage or cards, laughing at his latest blonde-jokes, hugging him and getting one extra squeeze, and hearing that comforting voice saying “thank you, sweet-haht”.
Although our hearts are heavy, we will celebrate his life and find comfort knowing that he is in heaven with his late family members watching over us.
Visitation will be held on Friday, June 25, 2021, at 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Tobias Funeral Home, 5471 Far Hills Ave, Dayton, OH 45429. Services to follow. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Pink Ribbon Girls, a foundation that holds a special place in the heart of the Beaulieu family.
