Thomas A. Shaddy

Thomas A. Shaddy, age 68, of Pacific Junction, Iowa passed away March 9, 2014 at his home. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska on November 11, 1945 to Thomas A. & Doris F. Shaddy. Tom grew up in Denison, Iowa, graduating from high school at Randall Preparatory School in Denver, Colorado and attending Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa. Tom moved to Omaha, Nebraska, met and married Kathy and was employed as a stockbroker with Piper, Jaffray, and Hopwood. He retired from Robert W. Baird after more than 30 years in the brokerage business. Tom enjoyed acting and movies, travel, sailing, photography, and nature (as long as basic creature comforts were close by), but most of all he relished time spent with Kathy, his children, grandchildren, and all family occasions. He loved being able to host an event where he could see people he loved coming together for sharing laughter, retelling stories, and creating new ones. The annual 4th of Joo-lie extravaganzas were the perfect opportunity for this. He is preceded in death by his father, Thomas A. Shaddy. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen Shaddy; son, Aaron Shaddy and wife Robin; daughter, Jill Shaddy-Gouvion and wife Cynthia; grandsons, Alex Shaddy, Zach Shaddy, and Kyle Ofe; mother Doris Goodman; sister Pat Shaddy.
