  • Notes 
    • Thomas Clinton Blake, age 93, of Middletown passed peacefully Tuesday, September 29, 2020 with his family by his side.

      He was a great man known for his athleticism, multiple businesses, leadership positions, including several boards and Middletown City Council, as well as his contributions to the community, and much more. However, his greatest accomplishment, which he was most proud of, is his family and the life he built with his beloved wife “Gwynie” and the memories made. “It’s not what you have at the end of life, it’s what you leave behind that matters.”

      Tom is preceded in death by his beloved sweetheart, Gwyn, of 72 years and his two daughters, Terri Blake Halsey and Lisa Blake French.

      He will be loved and remembered by his grandchildren; Lori Ronto Evans, Courtney French Killin, Rachel French Hunter and Kelly French, as well as his great grandchildren; Edie, Elliot, Ian and Oliver Evans, Harlow and Caroline Killin, Justin and Aubrey Hunter, Piper Harris (French-Hunter), Lilliana and Luna Reed (French) and his faithful cat companion Toby.
