Thomas E. Churchill, born Nov. 14, 1945, died Oct. 29, 2018, just two weeks short of his 73rd birthday, in San Mateo, California.
Son of Eugene and Patricia Churchill. A member of St. Matthews Church in San Mateo, Tom was a graduate of Aragon High School and a Cal Poly graduate in architecture. Tom worked for H.O.K. in San Francisco for several years. He achieved a master’s degree in marketing at Golden Gate University and had many contacts around the world. He had a wonderful musical talent, having learned Hawaiian steel guitar, six-string guitar, piano and keyboard. Tom played piano and keyboard at many venues, mostly for free, and sang to the enjoyment of many. He struggled with mental health issues most of his adult life and physical challenges from diabetes.
A private scattering of his ashes in San Francisco Bay was Jan. 11. He is survived by his sister Susan Churchill in Reno, Nevada, and his niece Corey Churchill in Austin, Texas. Many thanks to his many friends who assisted him and to Margarie Davis, his social worker at OASIS and, to the San Mateo Medical Center for their care. Donations to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) are encouraged.
