Thomas Peter Weigel, Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Thomas P. “Tommy” Weigel, Jr., born and raised in New Orleans, passed away at home with his family at his side on Sunday, May 3, 2020, at the age of 75. Tommy leaves behind his loving wife, Laura Kennedy Weigel, after 54 years of devoted love; two sons, Thomas P. Weigel, III (Dori) and Todd M. Weigel (Theresa); and his beloved grandchildren, Brandon and Amanda McNaughton, Todd and Hunter Weigel, Austin, Chase, and Hunter Langley, and Brennan McMullen. Tommy also leaves behind his beloved sisters, Juanita Timmerick (Michael), Deborah Goetz (Ernie), Carol Callender (Jimmy Volkel), Margaret Anguzza (Roy Averette), Tammy May (John); and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins who loved him. Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas P. Weigel and Juanita Conway Anguzza; stepfather, Anthony Anguzza; and sister, Constance “Connie” Boudreaux (Richard). Tommy was a veteran who proudly served in the U. S. Army. He retired after 35 years of service with AT&T/Bell South, where he met and worked alongside so many lifetime friends and wonderful people. Tommy was also active with the Kenner Recreation Dept., where he not only coached multiple sports, but also acted as an assistant supervisor at Muss Bertolino Playground. He had a deep love for family and friends and was known for opening his home to loved ones in need. Tommy was an avid LSU fan and loved to host parties at his home, especially for holiday family gatherings and LSU games. His beautiful yard and garden were his pride and joy and were the setting for many of these parties. He shared a love of music, dancing, and humor with his beloved wife, Laura, every day of his life. We would like to thank all the doctors, nurses, and medical staff members who lovingly cared for him during his time. Also, a special thank you to Kathy Liebert and Marsha Loats. Due to current conditions, a memorial service will be held at a later date. Please consider sharing your thoughts, favorite memory or condolences at www.muhleisen.com
