Thomas Nyhan Obituary

Nyhan, Jr., Thomas Patrick Of La Grange Park, IL, passed away suddenly on May 21, 2016 at the age of 45. He was the best husband in the world to Loretta Nyhan (nee Roach); and the kindest, most loving father to Dan and Jack, of whom he was very proud. He was so loved by his parents Tom and Maureen Nyhan (nee Brennan); and his in-laws, Henry and Maxine Roach (nee Navarro). Dearest brother of Mike Nyhan, Erin (Alex) Sinvare, and Dan (Ann) Nyhan; dear brother-in-law of Joyce (Brent) Georgi and Steven (Lori) Roach. He was the "fun uncle" to Seamus, Liam, Maura, Alex, Max, Liam, and Camden. Tom worked hard, and played harder. He brightened every room he entered. He will be missed more than we can express. Memorial Gathering: Tuesday, May 24, 2016, 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Wednesday, May 25, 2016, 11:30 a.m. to Time of Service 12:00 p.m. at Hitzeman Funeral Home Ltd., 9445 W. 31st St., Brookfield, IL 60513. Interment Private. Information at 708-485-2000 or www.HitzemanFuneral.com

I worked indirectly with Tom at Chicago Patrolmens a few years ago and I just found out about Tom's passing. I wish to pass my condolences to his family as he was a quiet man at work but would have that side joke or laugh to ease the tension at times. We left Patrolmens close to the same time and I heard he was happy at his new place. RIP Tom!

I am so shocked about the sad new of your son's death. He was a real gentleman, fun and considerate. Tour condo across from ours (106) gave us the opportunity to know him better when he spent time in Naples with his brothers and friends. We will always remember him as happy and full of life.
