Tomas Lopez
September 22, 1929 - May 30, 2025

Always a curious child with a strong intellect, Tomas ventured to Venezuela in his early 20s to visit his older brother. Upon his return to Cuba, he met Haydee Arencibia. They married on February 27, 1953. Tomas and Haydee and their four children left Cuba and immigrated to America in 1969 for a better life.

With his engaging personality and witty sense of humor, Tomas made many friends in New Jersey and later in Florida. Through hard work and diligence, he owned his own business for many years. His greatest joy was spending time with his growing family. After 71 years of marriage, Tomas lost his beloved wife, Haydee in 2024. His parents predeceased him, as did his brothers, Celestino, Manuel and Ramon.

Tomas is survived by his adoring children, daughter Rosa (Jesus) Ruiz, son Tomas (Stacey) Lopez, daughter Susana (Darryl) Farquhar, son Juan Lopez. He leaves behind grandchildren Jennifer (Martin) Mennicke, Jessica (Ryan) Chalmers, Jaclyn (Andrew) Witmer, Julia (Adam) Finkelstein, Isabel (Mac) Ahsler, Joshua Lopez, Stephanie (Hunter) Mills, Benjamin Farquhar, Sabrina Lopez. Tomas will be missed by his eight great grandchildren, Riley, Mason, Hadley, Anderson, Layla, Parker, Stella, Rowan.

A private family service was held to honor Tomas. He will be dearly missed but his legacy will live on in his growing family and they will hold his loving memory in their hearts.

Services were held at All Faiths Memorial Park 1390 Park Drive, Casselberry, Florida 32707.
