Thomas Greulich Obituary

Thomas A. "Howard" Greulich

Sep 17, 1957 - Jan 2, 2025

Sandusky

Thomas A. "Howard" Greulich, 67, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes Thursday, January 2, 2025.

He was born September 17, 1957, in Sandusky to Eugene E. and Patricia D. (Reilly) Greulich.

Tom graduated from St. Mary's Catholic High School in 1975. He fondly remembers being hired at Sandusky Foundry and Machine in 1978. He then continued his career as a cement finisher at the former Gillan Concrete in Elyria, Fosco Cement in Sandusky, and retired from Hermes-Parker Concrete in Sandusky. He was an avid sports fan. In his past, he loved to play recreational softball. He cheered for the Miami Dolphins, New York Yankees, and THE Ohio State Buckeyes.

Tom is survived by his brothers, Edward E. (Cynthia) Greulich of Tennessee and Chris M. (Donna) Greulich of Milan; son, Matthew Jacksich of Sandusky; nieces, Carrie of Colorado, Stephanie of Tennessee and Andrea of Colorado; nephew, Kevin (Oliver) of Lorain; and other loving relatives.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents.

Per Tom's wishes, cremation will take place. There will be no services at this time. A celebration of his life will be at a future date yet to be determined.

Those wishing to contribute to Tom's memory may do so to one's favorite charity.

Toft Funeral Home & Crematory, 2001 Columbus Ave., Sandusky, is handling arrangements. Condolences may be shared online at toftfuneralhome.com.
