Thomas W. Gleckman

Thomas was the son of the late Louis and Bessie Gleckman of Pawtucket and brother of the late Morton Gleckman of Cranston. He is survived by a niece, Judith Gleckman of Brookline, MA, a cousin Max Rosen and family of Weston, MA and Hanah Kesslen and family.

He was always referred to as “Uncle Tommy” or “Cousin Tommy” by a wide range of friends and family.

After graduating from URI and before starting his career, Thomas spent time in the Army, where he discovered his passion for traveling. Thomas spent more that 50 years in the Jewelry industry as the Vice President of sales for A & Z Hayward in East Providence. In addition, he was an avid gardener and was always in his yard creating beautiful landscapes. He was a fan of the ocean, spending summers in Narragansett and Barrington with family. After retirement he became a resident of the Laurelmead Community, where he was active in many committees and social groups, before moving to Tockwotton on the Waterfront in East Providence. Tom was the most caring and compassionate person, making a positive impression on everyone he met.

A graveside service will be held Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at 10:00 am in Lincoln Park Cemetery, 1469 Post Road, Warwick. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice in Tommy’s memory
