Thomas F. Seery
1933-2024
East Waterboro – Thomas F. Seery, 90, peacefully passed away at his home on June 16, 2024, after a two
year struggle with cancer. He was born on November 27, 1933, in Bristol, CT and was raised in Wolcott,
CT. In adulthood, he relocated his family to Maine. He was married to Jean Tuller Seery for 67 years, the
two met just as Tom was graduating from high school. Tom was a paratrooper in the Army. They had
two daughters, Virginia Seery and Brenda Seery. For nearly four decades, Tom ran his own appliance
service business, Tom’s Appliance Repair, with his wife Jean. He was dedicated to his family—always
involved in his daughters’ activities—4-H, horseback riding, dance, and drama club. He continued this
tradition with his grandchildren--Emily Hawley, Aidan Hawley, and Kate Seery. He attended lacrosse,
baseball, hockey and soccer games as well as concerts, dance recitals, and horse shows. Tom and Jean
loved visiting the rocky coast of Maine where they saw Maine’s light houses, flew kites, and picnicked.
Tom was a member of the SAD 57 School Board while his daughters were in middle and high school. He
was an avid reader and appreciated the support from the Waterboro Public Library who kept him in
books. One of Tom’s life-long passions was picking blueberries every summer. He once exclaimed “I just
love doing this, I don’t know why.” Of course, he loved a good blueberry pie or cake. Tom was an
independent and generous man. All those who knew him would agree that he would do anything to help
and support others. He will be greatly missed by his wife who he said he “would love forever,” his
daughters; sons-in-laws, Glynn Hawley and Tod Glasgow; grandchildren; nephews; nieces; and siblings,
Barbara Lass and Clyde Seery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Waterboro Public Library, 187 Main

A celebration of life service will be held for Tom on Saturday, July 13th at noon at the East Waterboro
