Thomas M. Loose, 54, of Hatfield, PA, died on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at Jefferson Health Hospice in Warminster, PA after a brief battle with cancer.

Tom was born on November 3, 1966 in Milwaukee, WI. He grew up in Painted Post, NY, and spent many cherished summers as a Boy Scout camp counselor at Camp Gorton on Waneta Lake. Tom graduated from Williams College in 1989, majoring in Biology and English. He was an Austin Scholar at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where he received his MBA in 1994, majoring in Marketing and Economics.

He spent the majority of his distinguished career, 27 years, at Merck & Co. in North Wales, PA – most recently as AVP of Marketing.

Tom was a loving husband and devoted father. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Tina M. (Webster) Loose, and by his twin sons, Aaron L. Loose (Lafayette College) and Gregory S. Loose (Williams College). Both boys will graduate next month.

Additionally, he is survived by his parents, Jane S. Loose and John W. Loose - both of Nantucket, MA, and by his brother and best friend, Steven R. Loose, his wife Michele Norman, and their three children, Katherine, Sarah, and Matthew, of Wellesley, MA.

He leaves behind his mother-in-law, Marie S. Webster of East Conway, NH, as well as three sisters-in-law: Teresa and Catherine Webster, and Angela Garcia and her husband, Jeff. Also mourning his loss are dear cousins from the Souder, Souder-Russo, and Limbert families, and precious friends too numerous to name.

Tom was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elvin R. Souder and Esther "Patty" Souder of Souderton, PA. Tom will be buried close to his grandparents at Zion Memorial Gardens, Telford, PA.

There will be a private graveside gathering for the family. A celebration of his life will follow later in the year.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or Penn Foundation in Sellersville, PA.

Tom was happiest driving his boat on Lake Wallenpaupack in the Poconos.

He will always be remembered for his devotion to family and friends, his sharp principled mind, his boisterous laugh, and his love of baseball, fine dining, travel, and sunsets anywhere.
