Thomas Peter Macauda, 72, on May 7, 2024.
Tom was the beloved father of Marc Anthony and Tiara Macauda, and the loving stepfather of Ashley Gilday (Shaun), the brother of Grace Giorno (Carmen), Sam Macauda (Susan), Laurel (Cookie) Lamb (Bob Krause), and the late Frank Macauda and dear friend Carrie Rush. Uncle Tom will be missed by his nieces and nephews; Christina and Stephanie Macauda, Steven Macauda, Melissa Lamb, and Laura and Sharon Giorno. Tom was called Papa by his grandchildren, Oskar and Evelyne Gilday, Mila Grace and Redding Graeson Macauda.
Tom was born in Chicago on January 6, 1952 to Ottiello and Rosalind Macauda, and raised his four siblings from a young age by Ottiello and his second wife, Frances.
A man of character and integrity, Tom’s creativity was best seen through his work as a master carpenter and entrepreneur. Tom enjoyed planting a vegetable garden each spring and found great joy in cooking and grilling meals. His legacy of hard work and devotion towards his children continues to inspire us.
Tom’s final days were marked with peace that surpasses all understanding. Tom’s testimony in his last days is an encouragement that it is never too late to receive grace and salvation.
