TomKRUGEIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Abraham Ambrose Thomas Kruge, known to his family and friends as Tom, who passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday 20th August 2025 at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro aged 84 years.
Tom was the devoted husband of Rita and a proud father to his three sons; David and partner Alison, Michael, Phil and his wife Della.
His greatest joy in later life was being a grandfather and he leaves behind six much loved grandchildren; Ethan, Molly, Ryan, Jack, Connor and Alisha who will miss their grandad dearly.
Tom made Penzance his home more than 40 years ago. Over the decades, he became a cherished member of the local community, known for his kindness, warmth and sense of humour.
Tom was also a proud member of the Masons and the Buffs and formed many valued friendships there. To his friends, he was a loyal companion, to his family, a guiding hand and a source of endless love and support.
Tom's presence enriched the lives of all who knew him and his memory will live on through the countless moments of laughter, wisdom and care that he shared. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered with love.
A funeral service will be held at St Pol de Leon Church, Paul on Monday 22nd September 2025 at 1pm. All family and friends are welcome to attend and join in celebrating Tom's life.
