THOMAS FRANK GAMBLE
September 21, 2018
Montrose, NY formerly of Cornwall, NY

Thomas “Tom” Gamble, most recently of the NYS Veterans Home at Montrose, passed away on September 21, 2018. He was 78 years old.

The son of Betty and Gordon Gamble, Tom Gamble was born in Buffalo, NY. Tom was the oldest of three boys and lived much of his life on Buffalo’s West Side. His family spent many summers in Grimsby Beach, Ontario, which he always remembered fondly. Tom also lived in the Hudson Valley for nearly 20 years and was particularly fond of its fall foliage.

Tom earned his B.S. in History from Cornell University, where he played hockey and was a member of the Sigma Phi fraternity. He also earned an M.B.A. from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Tom honorably and proudly served his country as a member of the U.S. Army where he was stationed in Korea, Fort Hamilton, and Fort Bragg.

Family was the centerpiece of Tom’s life. He was a devoted and proud husband, father, “Lolo,” brother, and uncle. He was known for his mischievous grin, warm hugs, sharp wit, contagious laughter, cheeky sense of humor, knack for conversation, and love of reading, debate, cars, the Buffalo Bills and the NY Yankees. There will be no replacement for this “tough little guy.”

Tom is survived by his wife of 41 years, Norma; his four children: Chrissy and her husband Pete Casciato, Tracey and her husband Jason Dubeshter, Mark Stingle and his wife Tina, and Carl Ray Stingle and his wife Nanci; seven grandchildren: Jessica, David, and Samantha Stingle, Catherine and Juliana Stingle, and Max and Lucy Dubeshter; his dear brother: Robert Gamble; and, many beloved in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 5: p.m. on Tuesday, September 25th at Quigley-Sullivan Funeral Home, Inc., 337 Hudson St. Cornwall-On-Hudson, NY. A Funeral Service will be held following the Visitation at 5 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations in Tom’s name (Class of 1962) are made to Cornell University, Box 37334, Boone, IA 50037-0334.
