Thomas J. Weiss

Thomas J. “Tommy” Weiss, age 60 of Wilmington, DE, formerly of Claymont, DE passed away after a sudden illness on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

Tommy was a graduate of Claymont High School where he was an exceptional pitcher for the Claymont Indians. He loved the sport of baseball into his adulthood and played in leagues well into his twenties.

Tommy lived a simple life. He loved his family and friends. He enjoyed all activities outdoors especially fishing in the Outer Banks, vacations to the Caribbean, NASCAR races and beach trips to his place at Holly Lake Campground. He recently took up bike riding and enjoyed riding to Bellevue Park to go fishing. Tommy was a skilled and dedicated flooring mechanic, always giving his best in all he did. He spent the past 3 years with Network Flooring and the previous 20 years with Connelly Flooring. He left a lasting impression on his family, friends, and all he worked with – he will be greatly missed.

Tommy is survived by his father, James Weiss Jr, sister, Lynne Nickel (Tom), brothers James Weiss III (Kathy), Lawrence Weiss (Michele) and Christopher Weiss (Becky), numerous nieces and nephews and his beloved kitties, Blackey and Bluey. He was predeceased by his mother, Barbara Weiss and his fiancé, Frances Guynes.

The family would like to send a special thank you to all of Tommy’s friends who have been with him throughout the years.

An old buddy from the Coach House days many years ago. Only a handful of people will remember who I am as life for all of our free spirited, fun loving group went separate ways to different lifestyles at some point. But, I always asked about Tommy with good memories. You will be missed, even though so much time has passed and so many life circumstances have changed. Fondly, Sydney

Hey Tom we will miss you greatly. We were all starting to be good friends. This is Darryl & Marie. You and Darryl, Dave, Joe and once in a while Brian. Had such a good time playing horseshoes I usually just watched but you definitely had a sense of humor. You were never boring. You, Darryl and myself (Marie) brought the New Year in together and you were hilarious. We had a great time. You will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Friend.

We didn't know Tom for a long time. But we were all starting to be good friends. Tom & Darryl, Dave and Joe and sometimes Brian were always playing horseshoes. When you would come over on your bike our dog (Huck) would rundown the hill next to you or sometimes he would go to your door and bark. But he always had a bone for him. Darryl, Tom, me and Huck brought in New Year together.You were hilarious that made it more fun and memorable. We will definitely miss you and so will Huck. R.I.P. our friend

Wow, so sad. Hadn't seen Tommy in years but was one of the guys I always remembered even years after high school. Especially remember his infectious laugh and cruising the valley in that Mercury Couger everyone wanted to ride shotgun in. RIP my friend. Condolences to the family.
