Tom Figlio

December 28, 2021

Tom Figlio, born in Upper Darby Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on September 18, 1949, died suddenly at home in Pittsgrove Township, NJ, on December 28, 2021. Tom earned a bachelor of arts degree in Speech and Theatre at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University). After a lifelong career as an administrator for the Gloucester County Board of Social Services, Tom spent the last 15 years actively involved in volunteer activities with the Pittsgrove Township Environmental Commission, the Pittsgrove Township Planning Board, the MS City to Shore Planning Team, and Paws for People Pet Therapy. Tom was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and worked as an extra in movies and television including The Last Airbender, Silver Linings Playbook, and Mare of Easttown. He also worked as a standardized patient (a simulated patient) at Rowan Medical School. He was an avid runner, completing 12 marathons including Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York, and countless other races. He rode in the Bike MS City to Shore Ride annually for the past 20 years. Over his lifetime, he hiked much of the Appalachian Trail and traveled widely throughout the United States and internationally. Tom’s creative nature was expressed in the cartoons and stained glass he created throughout his life that are treasured by his family and friends. He loved music and played the trumpet, French horn, and guitar. Tom was known among his friends and family for his caring thoughtfulness, sensitivity, great sense of humor, and the smoked brisket he prepared annually for Memorial Day. A devoted husband and friend, he was nurturing, loving, and considerate. Tom will be missed by all those who knew him. He is survived by his wife Susan Whitehouse, brothers Karl Figlio and Tony Figlio, sisters-in-law Linda Busby and Linda Whitehouse, brothers-in-law Mark Busby and David Whitehouse, beloved pets Luna and Saoirse, as well as numerous nieces and nephews including Sarah Figlio Hopes, Nathan Figlio, Joshua Busby, Marissa Whitehouse, David Figlio, Rick Figlio, Kim Stroup, Cindy Robinson, Greg Figlio, Alix Green, and Zara Truscott. Tom was preceded in death by his brother Robert Figlio, sister-in-law Jean Figlio, and niece Meagan Figlio. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tom’s memory to The Appalachian Trail Conservancy or The Multiple Sclerosis Society – Delaware Valley Chapter in Philadelphia. There will be a Celebration of Life held for Tom at a future date.
