Thomas Tarpey, a member of IBEW 3 for 38 years, passed away at age 64 on December 1st.
Thomas was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Magdalena Tarpey, with whom he shared a life built on partnership, laughter, and quiet moments of kindness. They lived in Putman County. Thomas dedicated 38 years to the IBEW Local 3, where he built lasting friendships and a reputation for integrity, skill, and hard work. He took great pride in his career and retired with the respect of those who worked beside him over many decades.
Outside of work, Thomas found joy on the open road, especially when riding his Harley, a passion that reflected his independent spirit and love of adventure. At home, his happiest moments were spent with family and with his beloved dog, Tobie, whose companionship meant the world to him.
Thomas is survived by his brother John Tarpey and his wife Carol, and Bob Tarpey and his wife Jane. He will also be lovingly remembered by his nieces, Alexa, Gianna, Nicole, and Marissa whom he adored.
