Laconia-----Thomas H. Kilgellon, 61, went home to be with the Lord with his loving wife by his side on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at Lakes Region General Hospital.
Thomas was born in Dania Beach, Florida on September 2, 1953 the son of Thomas E. and Helena (Thaler) Kilgellon. He has been a resident of Laconia since 1985. For a born and raised Floridian he certainly made New Hampshire his home.
Thomas was a painter in his younger years.
All of Thomas' friends called him "Tommy". He was a very funny man and loved to make people laugh. He loved to listen to music, shoot pool, darts, horse shoes, cards, target shoot, make candles, jewelry and paintings. Tommy loved his pets, Sam, Jack, Kippygirl and Simon and being out in nature either walking the dog or boating, swimming or picnicking. Tommy made friends out of strangers and was thoughtful enough to keep them. He will be missed by many as he was a very charming and charismatic man.
Thomas is survived by his loving wife, Dawn (Moore) Kilgellon, of Laconia; his sister, Catherine Kilgellon; his sister in law, Shirley Wade and his Step Mother Carol Kilgellon and many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother Kippy Kilgellon.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2015 at 11:00am at the Congregational Church, 18 Veterans Square, Laconia NH.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations be made to New Hampshire Humane Society, PO Box 572, Laconia NH 03247.
