Thomas Tarpey, of Putnam Valley, passed away at age 64 on December 1st peacefully in his sleep. 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.

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.

Though he never had children of his own, Thomas embraced his role in a blended family. He treasured time with his stepchildren, Alexander Brown, Samantha Guzman, and Steven Guzman, and their families, proudly watching their lives grow and change. He was especially grateful for the joy brought by four grandchildren, who filled his later years with warmth and laughter.

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

Those who knew Thomas will remember him for his eccentric personality, his steady presence, and his deep loyalty to the people he loved. His legacy lives on in the memories shared by family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
